Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας
Πάντα ταῦτα ἐπείρασα ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ: εἶπα Σοφισθήσομαι, καὶ αὐτὴ ἐμακρύνθη ἀπ' ἐμοῦ· κτλ. (Εcclesiastes 7:23f., LXX version) → I tried to give proof in wisdom of all those things; I said, I will be wise, but that wisdom was far from me ...
Seven Against Thebes (Ancient Greek: Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας, Hepta epi Thēbas; Latin: Septem contra Thebas) is the third play in an Oedipus-themed trilogy produced by Aeschylus in 467 BC. The trilogy is sometimes referred to as the Oedipodea. It concerns the battle between an Argive army led by Polynices and the army of Thebes led by Eteocles and his supporters. The trilogy won the first prize at the City Dionysia. The trilogy's first two plays, Laius and Oedipus, as well as the satyr play Sphinx, are no longer extant.
