Greek The sons of the Seven Against Thebes, an
expedition launched by Adrastus and Polynices to
capture the throne of Thebes. The effort failed and
Adrastus was the only survivor. When the sons of the
Seven, the Epigoni, were old enough to bear arms,
Adrastus rallied them to make a second attack. This
one succeeded. Thebes was destroyed. It was a bitter
victory for Adrastus, for his son Aegialeus was killed.
