Yeah--when a list of whodunits excludes the Queen of the genre, Agatha Christie, then it lacks credibility IMHO. Also, re Oedipus and Hamlet--where's the whodunit there? The reader KNOWS whodunit!
Oh, come on...there's no MYSTERY in Hamlet. He knows who did it, all e's doing is dithering (quite nicely) about what to do about it, how to confront the murderer.

Actually, most of the list does not impress me.
