The Suppliants tells the story of 50 women who seek refuge in Argos after fleeing their previous home, while Persians focuses on the aftermath of the defeat of the Persian king Xerxes. Seven Against Thebes tells the story of the Seven Against Thebes, a group of heroes who sought to conquer the city of Thebes. This edition includes a new introduction and notes by John Dunning Cooper that provide historical and literary context for the plays.
