The Octauia tragedy is the only example of a dramatic text with a historical theme, which Latin literature bequeathed to posterity, as is the case with the tragedy The Persians of Aeschylus in Greek literature. This piece would be representative of a dramatic genre typical of the Roman literary tradition and that was cultivated by several authors from the republican period until the beginning of the imperial era, but of these we only have the names and sparse fragments. And precisely because of its uniqueness we intend to observe how the construction of his historical discourse is structured through the text The Discourse of History by Roland Barthes.References
