In
Greek mythology,
Polynices and six allies (the
Seven Against Thebes) attacked
Thebes because Polynices' brother,
Eteocles, refused to give up the throne as promised. All seven would-be conquerors were killed. Their children swore vengeance and attacked Thebes. This was called the Battle of the
Epigonoi ("posthumous").
The Epigonoi were Aegealeus, Alcmaeon, Diomedes, Thersander, Euryalus, Amphilochus, Promachus, Polydorus, Sthenelus, Laodamas.
