Abstract
The article offers an analysis of the style and the vocabulary of the first vernacular translation of Seneca’s Agamemnon. It was written in the early decades of the 15th century by an anonymous author, who translated into prose the ten tragedies that at that time were attributed to Seneca. The vernacular translation interprets the tragic plot in a Christian perspective, relying on the commentary by Nicholas Trevet.
