Abstract

THE ENDING OF THE SEVEN AGAINST THEBES BY EVERARD FLINTOFF The appearance of yet another article on a play that has only recently been airily dismissed in the arts columns of one of Britain's more expensive newspapers as "this minor example of Aeschylus at his most glumly deterministic and undramatic" 1) may well seem a waste of time and in view of the large number of first class articles on the subject even to require some extensive justification. But in the following article I hope I have not gone over the same ground as all the earlier scholars 2), except incidentally. So although the perceptive reader will notice a few places where I have briefly followed in my predecessors' footsteps, for the most part I shall be venturing out into new fields, the bearing of whose cartography upon earlier drawn sketches of the play will have to be worked out by the reader himself.
