The Seven Against Thebes (Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας) depicts the siege of Thebes along with the cruel fate of the two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, who were cursed by their father, the late King Oedipus, for not taking care of their blind father and for their selfishness and thirst for power. From my point of view, […]
Though I’ve already written a review in Romanian for Prometheus Bound, it would have been strange if I didn’t write something about the entire volume that includes four of Aeschylus’ tragedies: The Suppliant Maidens, The Persians, The Seven Against Thebes and Prometheus Bound. What you need to know about Aeschylus is that he is one […]
Book 6: The Extraction Warning: Lust Money & Murder is a book series where every book is the continuation of the previous one. If you haven’t read the book series and you are interested in doing so, please return to my review after finishing the previous book, because this article contains spoilers from it! I just can’t […]

The character, not Tim Burton’s musical… it would be an extremely long article if I wrote on that topic. No, there’s too much to say on the film. Go watch it if you haven’t, you won’t regret it. Anyway, what made me write about this? A few days ago we spoke in class about the […]
