Seven Against Thebes is a Greek tragedy written by Aeschylus. This edition includes an introduction, didactic guide and translation by Carmen Vilela Gallego. The play tells the story of the war between the sons of Oedipus, Eteocles and Polynices, for control of the city of Thebes.
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian, often described as the father of tragedy. Academic knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier Greek tragedy is largely based on inferences made from reading his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in the theatre and allowed conflict among them. Formerly, characters interacted only with the chorus.
