{"product_id":"seven-against-thebes-the-quest-of-the-original-magnificent-seven","title":"Seven Against Thebes: The Quest of the Original Magnificent Seven","description":"An exploration of myth, legend, and origin stories passed from generation to generation.\nIn the thirteenth century BC, a quarter of a century before the Trojan War, seven Greek warrior heroes went against the Greek city of Thebes to restore one of their number to the throne of his father, the famous King Oedipus. Several children of those seven heroes would later take part in the siege of Troy.\nThis adventure was equal in the minds of Greeks and Romans with the siege of Troy as told in Homer’s epic The Iliad, an event which it predated by a generation. And while the story contains mythical elements, there are no factual, historical, or archaeological reasons to suggest that the military campaign did not take place much as described.\nInitially sung in verse and later committed to written form via histories, ancient poems, and plays, Seven Against Thebes is a historical narrative concerning one of the greatest military adventures of all time.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1684428939\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1684428939.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dando-Collins, Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
