Question

Which event occurs first? Zeus and Ares assist Thebes. Polyneices leads the rebel army against Thebes. The rebels retreat. Thebes conquers the rebels.

Answer 1

I think that Polyneices attacked Thebes first and then the rest followed.

Answer 2

Polyneices leads the rebel army against Thebes

Step-by-step explanation:

In Sophocles' "Antigone," Polyneices waged war against Thebes with a determined army of warriors. However, the rebel army's attempt to conquer Thebes was prevented with the help of Ares. As Polyneices and Eteocles fight, the Theban army counterattacks and rebels retreat. Finally, unable to conquer Thebes, both brothers kill each other and the Theban armies defeat the rebels.
