 Shakespeare's tragedy "Titus Andronicus" derives some of its plot elements from the story of Thyestes.In 1681, John Crowne wrote "Thyestes, A Tragedy", based closely on Seneca's Thyestes, but with the incongruous addition of a love story.Prosper Jolyot Crebillon (1674-1762) wrote a tragedy "Atree et Thyeste" (1707), which is prominent in two tales of ratiocination by Edgar Allan Poe.
