Lydgate's version of the classical Thebes story --the "seven against Thebes," Greek heroes who attempt to take Thebes from King Eteocles son of Oedipus on behalf of his brother Polyneices, and fail., based not on Statius or the Greeks but on French popular retellings. He presents it as an addition to Chaucer' s Canterbury Tales, the first tales of the return journey (which Chaucer did not cover.) ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

John Lydgate's The Siege of Thebes, written c. 1421-22, is the only Middle English poetic text that recounts the fratricidal struggle between Oedipus's sons Eteocles and Polynices as they contend for the lordship of Thebes. The text reflects the problem of poetic authority and the political and ethical themes of Lydgate's poetic career in the 1420s, when he was writing as a Lancastrian propagandist and as unofficial royal poet.
