What is it?
A week long event where people are encouraged to write fic, create art, headcanons, playlist, cosplays and whatever you can think of, all themed around the Theban cycle and characters. We will provide a list of prompts you can use as inspiration for the event.
Which characters are involved?
A lot! Any character with strong ties to Thebes or the Theban cycle is a part of the event. The main works relevant to Thebes are the seven against thebes, the epigoni, the theban plays and the bacchae/Dionysus, but this event isn't limited to solely these works. Check out this post for a more complete overview or to use as inspiration.
We've grouped the characters thematically, but you're free to mix and match, create works for just one character or several of them!
The linked post also provides links to free digital translations, if you want to learn more!
