Abstract

The essential purpose of the present article (which is quarried from my Cambridge doctoral dissertation, ‘A Study of the Seven against Thebes of Aeschylus’, 1975) is to put forward a new theory concerning the last scene of the Septem, 1005–78. The problem of the play's ending as a whole has been very thoroughly discussed by P. Nicolaus, Die Frage nach der Echtheit der Schlussszene von Aischylos' Sieben gegen Theben (Tübingen, 1967); since I have no wish to duplicate Nicolaus's work I shall deal only very briefly with those aspects of the problem on which I find myself in agreement with him and with other scholars.

They argue on the basis of 672 that he expects to win and that when he talks of his death (684, 689–91, 697, 702–4) he must be referring to death from the pollution of fratricide. But that is not the most natural way of taking these lines, and it is better that we should attribute Eteocles' apparent confidence at 672 to the rhetorical context and not seek to pin him down to a single consistent set of expectations.
