grbs-12331	Otis, Brooks	The Unity of the Seven against Thebes	1960	22	.pdf	application/pdf	9272	428	72	Of course, the irony is intense: in the very act, so to speak, of en­ hancing Eteocles' confidence by condemning Polynices and in effect predicting his defeat, Amphiaraus presents Eteocles with a prophetic analogy of his own fate. There is no true reconciliation of gods (the pater­ nal Erinys, the Olympians) or rights (the Family, the City) but a temporary and rather 'unholy' alliance of different gods by which the destructiveness of one (the Erinys) effects the political purpose of the other (the salvation of Thebes).	cache/grbs-12331.pdf	txt/grbs-12331.txt
