Tragedies of Aeschylus

Série • 8 livres

The city of Thebes is besieged by seven valiant warriors, each armed with his own ardor and ambition. But it is not just a war of swords and shields: beneath the surface of battle lies the inexorable design of fate, orchestrated by divine forces that test men's courage and morality. The voices of the warriors resound in a chorus of defiance and lamentation as the drama unfolds through the prism of human tragedy, in which honor and ruin are inextricably intertwined. The epic resistance of Thebes is also the vulnerability of humankind in the face of the inexorable laws of fate and guilt. “Seven Against Thebes” is not only a chronicle of battle and death. It also becomes, through the genius of Aeschylus, a profound inquiry into the human soul, heroism and frailty, an ode to those who, in the name of justice, face the inevitable without fear, leaving an indelible mark on the memory of the world.
