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.

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.
