Produced by Christos Alexandridis, Publisher Fexis, 1911, Translation into Modern Greek by Ioannis Gryparis "Επτά επί Θήβας" by Aeschylus is a classic Greek tragedy written in the 5th century BC. This play is part of a trilogy, focusing on themes of fate, familial conflict, and divine intervention, centering around the brothers Eteocles and Polynices, who are set to engage in a deadly battle for the city of Thebes. The work captures the essence of tragic consequences stemming from human actions, particularly that of power and revenge. The opening of the play sets the stage for the impending conflict as Eteocles prepares the city of Thebes for battle against the Argive forces led by his brother Polynices. An angel brings news of the enemy’s arrival and the impending siege, heightening the tension and urgency among the citizens. As Eteocles rallies his troops, he conveys the dire circumstances and the need for bravery. The chorus, representing the women of Thebes, expresses their fears and hopes for divine intervention, pleading with the gods to protect their city. This introduction establishes a bleak atmosphere, foreshadowing the tragic events that will unfold as the brothers embody the curse of their father, Oedipus, in a struggle for power that ultimately leads to their doom.
