The Seven Against Thebes is a play written by Aeschylus, a Greek tragedian, in the 5th century BC. This book is a critical analysis of the play by Arthur Woollgar Verrall, a renowned scholar of Greek literature. Verrall examines the themes, characters, and literary techniques used in the play, as well as its historical and cultural context. The play tells the story of the conflict between two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, who are fighting for control of the city of Thebes. Each brother leads a group of warriors, known as the Seven Against Thebes, into battle. The play explores themes of fate, family, and loyalty, and is considered one of the most important works of Greek literature. Verrall's analysis provides valuable insights into the play's meaning and significance, and is an essential read for anyone interested in Greek tragedy and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
