Blighted and accursed families are an inescapable feature of Greek
tragedy, and many scholars have treated questions of inherited
guilt, curses, and divine causation. 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 and the Phoenician Women of Euripides, both of which
dramatize the sorrows of the later generations of the House of
Oedipus, but in very different, and perhaps complementary, ways.
All Greek quotations are translated, making his study thoroughly
accessible to the non-specialist reader.
