How many captains march against Thebes in 'Antigone'?
No captains march in 'Antigone'. The action of the marching captains instead is the subject of 'Seven against Thebes' by Aeschylus [525/524 B.C.E.-465/464 B.C.E.]. In that earlier play, seven captains lead a combined army of Argive invaders and Theban rebels against the royal throne that Theban King Eteocles refuses to share with his twin brother, Polyneices.The seven captains are King Adrastus of Argos; Amphiaraus; Capaneus; Hippomedon; Parthenopeus; Polyneices; and Tydeus. All but the Argive King die during the unsuccessful attempt to breach the seven gates of Thebes. After the death of Antigone and the exile of Theban King Creon, Adrastus manages to get Athenian King Theseus' help in launching a second invasion. The purpose of that invasion is the recovery of the disrespectfully unburied, exposed bodies of the five dead non Theban captains from the first invasion. Ten years after the second invasion, a third invasion is launched by the sons of the original seven captains. This time, the invasion topples Eteocles' descendants from the throne. The Theban crown is taken over by the descendants of Polyneices.
