N.J. Sewell-Rutter gives these familiar issues a fresh appraisal, arguing that tragedy is a medium that fuses the conceptual with the provoking and exciting of emotion, neither of which can be ignored if the texts are to be fully understood. He pays particular attention to Aeschylus' Seven against Thebes andthe Phoenician Women of Euripides, both of which dramatize the sorrows of the later generations of the House of Oedipus, butOxford classical monographs.Guilt in literatureBlessing and cursing in literatureDecision making in literatureGreek literatureHistory and criticismGuilt in literature.Blessing and cursing in literature.Decision making in literature.Greek literatureHistory and criticism.882.0109882/.0109Sewell-Rutter N.
