Thebaid (Greek poem)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Thebaid (Greek: Θηβαΐδα) is an Ancient Greek epic poem of uncertain authorship (see Cyclic poets) sometimes attributed by early writers to Homer. It told the story of the war between the brothers Eteocles and Polynices, and was regarded as forming part of a Theban Cycle. Only fragments of the text survive.
