À propos de cet audio

In this compelling tragedy, the only surviving work from Aeschylus trilogy about the House of Oedipus, Thebes finds itself under siege by Polynices, a once-cherished prince turned adversary. Following the tumultuous departure of King Oedipus and his curse upon his sons, the brothers Polynices and Eteocles initially agreed to alternate the throne. However, Eteocles, after his year of rule, refuses to relinquish power, thereby fulfilling their fathers ominous prophecy that they would never coexist peacefully. As Polynices and his Argive army launch an assault on Thebes to reclaim his birthright, Eteocles faces the daunting challenge of defending his city from external threats while also managing the chaos among the terrified women within its walls. Note The plays conclusion is debated, with suggestions that the final lines featuring Antigone and Ismene may have been added later, possibly influenced by the popularity of Sophocles Theban plays or during the Middle Ages.
