Abstract:
Notes, first of all, that the Greeks, by and large, did not expostulate with the Divine; the Hebrews did. Then, goes on to present a comparative study of the stories of Job and Oedipus, and of Moses and Orestes. The first two depict dramatic assaults upon the riddles of human suffering; the other two show strikingly divergent approaches to the problem of how preternatural wrath may be averted by argument.
