Answer
False
Explanation
In the play "Hercules Furens" by Seneca, Hercules, in a fit of madness induced by the goddess Hera, tragically kills his own children. He does not spare any of them at the last minute. This act of madness and its aftermath are central to the themes of the play, exploring the consequences of divine intervention and human suffering.
