The Women of Trachis, the longest of the surviving tragedies by Euripides, describes the disastrous consequences of Polynices' arrival in Thebes, aiming to demand from his brother Eteocles the share of power that he is entitled to.
The Women of Trachis thematically relate to the tragedy Seven Against Thebes by Aeschylus, and a comparative reading of the two works is suitable for studying the distinct style adopted by the two great tragedians, as well as the way each one addresses the myth.
