Overview

Seven Against Thebes was one of the most important myths of antiquity: in The Iliad, Agamemnon and Diomedes kept referring to its heroes as their personal ideals. For the next two thousand years, it was the subject of countless poetic and dramatic works. This book discusses the myth, its roots in the Bronze Age, its historical traces and interpretations, the literature it has given rise to, and its impact on the subsequent generations of Greeks and Romans. Finally, it invites us to consider the role of myth in our own lives. Aleksander Krawczuk's delightful books on Greece and Rome have shaped three generations of antique lovers in Europe. They have been huge best-sellers because of their conversational style: reading this author feels like taking part in a pleasant conversation after a nice dinner, by the fireside, with a glass of sherry in hand. His topics are important and may seem forbidding, but the good professor finds a way to talk about them in an unassuming way without dumbing them down in the process. Pick up this book today and escape into intelligent pleasure.
