At its centre lies the inherited curse of Oedipus and the fatal rivalry between Eteocles and Polyneices, whose mutual destruction fulfils prophecy and extinguishes their house. Aeschylus frames the action through choral lament and heightened rhetoric, creating a drama that explores fate, civic duty, and the cost of fraternal hatred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of the lost Theban trilogy, \u003cem\u003eSeven Against Thebes\u003c\/em\u003e stands as a key example of early Greek tragedy, notable for its austere structure, martial imagery, and emphasis on inherited guilt.
