Ancient History/Mythology

Oedipus, who famously killed his father and married his mother, solving the riddle of the Sphinx to become king of Thebes. His devastated wife Jocasta. Their sons, the power-hungry Eteocles and the betrayed Polynices. Their loyal sisters Antigone and Ismene. And the Seven, most famous warrior band in Greek history, fighting a bloodthirsty war to take back Thebes for Polynices. In his gripping Seven Against Thebes, Stephen Dando-Collins employs his renowned research skills and superb authorship to deliver the first modern historical account of the Theban War, in a way that leaps from the pages.
