The Progeny (Theatre) | comment |
The Progeny was the third in a tetrology of plays written by Sophocles about Thebes. Taking place between Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone, it chronicles the war that occurs when Polyneices attacks his home city to regain the throne from Eteocles, his brother who decided not to step down when it was Polyneices' turn to rule.The play was completely lost for centuries, but in 2005 Oxford classicists used infrared technology to discover a fragment of it, which translates to:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Speaker A: … gobbling the whole, sharpening the flashing iron.Speaker B: And the helmets are shaking their purple-dyed crests, and for the wearers of breast-plates the weavers are striking up the wise shuttle's songs, that wakes up those who are asleep.Speaker A: And he is gluing together the chariot's rail. Aeschylus treated the same story in Seven Against Thebes. Ironically, his plays depicting the rest of the Oedipus story were also lost to history. | |
