In the parados of 'Antigone', the chorus tells the story of the seven brave fighters against Thebes. This story links the prequel, 'Oedipus Rex', to the middle play 'Antigone' in the Theban trilogy that ends with 'Oedipus at Colonus'. The chorus tells what happens with Theban King Oedipus' downfall. The King's twin sons, Eteocles and Polyneices, are supposed to honor a power sharing arrangement whereby each one rules every other year. But Eteocles refuses to give up the throne, and even banishes his brother from their home town. In response, Polyneices marries into the Argive royal family, and joins with the royal house of Argos in invading Thebes. But the battle ends in Thebes' favor, and with the deaths of both brothers.
