"Se aprecia madurez en el tejido de los componentes que construyen la dramaturgia. La obra es una metáfora del país que ha sido invadido, prostituido, transformado, robado, ultrajado, donde quedan atrapados una pareja de adultos mayores totalmente desprovistos de seguridad social y economica, y en el que el nuevo orden ya no los quiere cerca. Apreciamos a los personajes protagonicos como sujetos de desecho, personajes urbanos arrinconados en una ciudad que ya no los reconoce, ni quiere asumir. Adultos mayores ingeniosos, llenos de juventud y picardia que llegan a transgredir a ese sistema que los quiere desplazar.Una de las virtudes de la obra ganadora es el lenguaje no explicito; la palabra esta en funcion de la accion".

Esquilo (h. 525-456 a. C.) es el autor más antiguo del que conservamos tragedias completas. Además de dramaturgo, fue también soldado en una época difícil para Atenas y participó en algunos de los combates determinantes de las Guerras Medicas. Esa experiencia personal emerge con fuerza en una pieza de trasfondo belico como Los siete contra Tebas.Situada en el tiempo mitico justo antes de la Antigona de Sofocles, Los siete contra Tebas narra el asedio de la ciudad defendida por Eteocles ante el ataque de su hermano Polinices y sus aliados de Argos. Esquilo despliega en esta obra sorprendentemente realista un conflicto entre hermanos que se ve enriquecido con una adversidad superior: la de una ciudad que teme la derrota y sus terribles consecuencias. Quiza fue eso lo que convirtio a Los siete contra Tebas en una de las tragedias favoritas de sus contemporaneos.
