He provides illuminating answers to a long series of questions: why did Sophocles develop character-drawing? How and why does it differ from that of Aeschylus? Why are some of Euripides' plots so bad and others so good? Greek Tragedy is neither a history nor a handbook, but a lucid and penetrating work of criticism which all students of literature will find suggestive and stimulating. (Verlagstext).
