SUMMARY
The formidable talents of Anthony Hecht, one of the most gifted ofcontemporary American poets, and Helen Bacon, a classical scholar, are herebrought to bear on this vibrant translation of Aeschylus' much underratedtragedy The Seven Against Thebes. The third and only remaining play in atrilogy dealing with related events, The Seven Against Thebes tells the story ofthe Argive attempt to claim the Kingdom of Thebes, and of the deaths of thebrothers Eteocles and Polyneices, each by the others hand. Long dismissed bycritics as ritualistic and lacking in dramatic tension, Seven Against Thebes isrevealed by Hecht and Bacon as a work of great unity and drama, oneexceptionally rich in symbolism and imagery.Hecht, Anthony is the author of 'Seven Against Thebes', published 1991 under ISBN 9780195070071 and ISBN 0195070070.
