Seven Against Thebes

Set in the thirteenth century BC, "Seven Against Thebes" tells the story of seven Greek heroes who sixens after restoring one of their own to the throne of Thebes, a quest that predates the Trojan War and was celebrated as a major military event by ancient Greeks and Romans. This narrative, which has roots in myth and history, recounts a significant military campaign often regarded alongside the tales of Troy in Homer’s epic traditions. Originally sung in verse and later recorded in various historical and literary forms, the story remains one of the most remarkable adventures of ancient warfare.
