I doubt there is one.Not even anything on Ao3.
I just think it'd be cute and pure.
My main ship is Juri x Kozue.
No pictures either, but there is something at least decent written of it.https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3928216/1/Wicked-Ways
Pic on topic!

>Juri x Kozue
yeah, never seen that either. i only have one pic that theyre both in.
to be on topic, haven't read the work in OP but I love the Theban Cycle. I reread it recently and I underrated Sophocles hard. Oedipus Rex and Antigone were assigned reading in high school, but I was too dumb back then to get much out of them.
imo Oedipus at Colonus is the best. Extremely poignant, beautiful, and thematically impressive. Ol' Oed was lucky to have such great daughterfus.

A cute.
I've had an idiomatic treatment of Polynices in mind for a while.To wit: Cadmus was not a Tyrian but a Hyksos. His people besieged Egyptian Thebes for a hundred years, but were ultimately repelled and expelled.
From the Egyptians, though, Cadmus learned the art of writing, and in Greece founded Boetian Thebes, in honor of the city his people could never attain.
Now, Egyptian texts tell us that the only god the Hyksos worshipped was Seth (= Ba'al =? Zeus). But if one looks at the position of Seth- one exiled to the wastes while his brother is king and hoards their sisters - is that not just the position of Polynices? Could he not look to the god of his people as a model?
>such great daughterfusI ship them together too.
