Perhaps it's saga writers who don't talk about feelings. Take a look at the Oedipus plays, Antigone, Oedipus Tyrannus, Oedipus at Colonus. I can't say anything about the ancient Greek but public performance of the modern dress English version of Antigone (based on Jean Anouilh's French version) that we put on in high school was as emotionally charged as you can get. If Sophocles were around now he'd be serious box office material.
