The Theban cycle from Cadmus and the dragon’s teeth to his last kingdom, with Actaeon, Semele, Ino, Pentheus and the wanderings of Dionysus. In this house people are destroyed by being seen as something they are not.
Cadmus kills the guardian of the spring, sows its teeth, and founds Thebes with the survivors. Read once as courage and reparation, once as a foreign settlement told from the side that won.
