The Epigoni (Ancient Greek: Ἐπίγονοι Epigonoi progeny) is an ancient Greek tragedy written by the Greek playwright Sophocles in the 5th century BC and based on Greek mythology. According to myth Polynices and six allies (the Seven Against Thebes) attacked Thebes because Polynices’ brother Eteocles refused to give up the throne as promised. All but one (Adrastus) of the seven would-be conquerors were killed. Their children swore vengeance and attacked Thebes.
