• The Seven Against Thebes Aug 2, 2025

  

  In the ancient city of Thebes, where the foundations were laid by the music of Amphion’s lyre and the walls rose at the command of divine song, a tragedy was destined to unfold that would echo through the ages as one of the most terrible and magnificent tales of heroism and fate.

  The story begins with Oedipus, the tragic king who had unknowingly fulfilled the dreadful prophecy of killing his father and marrying his mother. When the truth of his crimes was revealed, Oedipus blinded himself in horror and grief, and eventually departed from Thebes, leaving the throne to his two sons, Eteocles and Polynices.
