Blurb: “Explore one of the greatest tragedies of ancient Greece with The Seven Against Thebes, translated by renowned classical scholar Gilbert Murray. This 1935 Oxford University Press hardback edition presents Aeschylus’ powerful drama, which tells the gripping story of the doomed conflict between the sons of Oedipus for control of Thebes.
Murray’s translation brings to life the intensity and poetic grandeur of Aeschylus’s work, capturing the themes of fate, destiny, and the inescapable grip of family curses. The play remains a cornerstone of Greek tragedy, depicting the heroism and horror of war as seven warriors, including Polynices, lay siege to the city defended by his brother, Eteocles.
This 1935 edition from Oxford University Press is a must-have for lovers of classical literature, Greek drama, and the timeless works of Aeschylus. Perfect for scholars, collectors, and anyone fascinated by the power of ancient storytelling.”
