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, but 410 0$aOxford classical monographs. 606 $aGuilt in literature 606 $aBlessing and cursing in literature 606 $aDecision making in literature 606 $aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aGuilt in literature. 615 0$aBlessing and cursing in literature. 615 0$aDecision making in literature. 615 0$aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a882.0109 676 $a882/.0109 700 $aSewell-Rutter$b N.
