Greek mythology, and particularly the Greek
Thebaid, the Epigoni (Greek Ἐπίγονοι, meaning "offspring") are the sons of the
Argive heroes who had fought and died in the first Theban war. Ten years after the First Theban War, the Epigoni set out to avenge the deaths of their fathers.A quarrel between
Polynices and
Eteocles, sons of
Oedipus, culminated in an attempt on
Thebes, led by Polynices and six allies: the
Seven Against Thebes. This failed effort precipitated the Second Theban War, also called the War of the Epigoni, ten years later.
