Seneca was a Latin playwright whose plays were probably studied by Shakespeare in school. Senecan tragedies tended to be gory, and it is thought that this was an influence on Titus Andronicus. They also tended to be talky, which might have influenced the player's speech in Hamlet, which has a distinctly Senecan ring to it. Hamlet is an intellectual snob, so he'd like this sort of thing.
