Transcript of The House of Thebes
A cursed legacy…
THE HOUSE OF THEBES
A LOT LIKE SHAKESPEARE…EVERYONE DIES.
After recapturing
his cow/sister, Europa, from
Zeus the gods bless Cadmus with his own
city, which he names
Thebes. However, that is pretty much the only luck
he has his entire life.
Thebes was his greatest legacy…but
was eventually conquered.
HOUSE OF THEBES IS NAMED AFTER A CITY…NOT A PERSON.
Cadmus
Harmonia
Autonoe Semele Ino Agave Polydorus
JocastaLaius
Oedipus Rex!
Polyneices Euripides Antigone Ismene
Creon
Menoeceus Haemon
ALL THAT IS LEFT OF THEBES IN THE END…
Thebes is later conquered by a neighboring city and after all the Thebans are killed, it is said the only thing left of the city was the necklace Hephaestus gave to Harmonia when she married Cadmus.
