Book Synopsis
Malcolm Davies provides the first full commentary on the surviving fragments of the four epics that recount the story of the Seven’s failed assault against Thebes and the successful assault in the next generation. He sets them in context and examines whether artistic depictions of the relevant myths can help reconstruct the lost epics’ contents.
