    In Greek mythology, Epigoni (/pna/; from Greek: , meaning "offspring") are


    the sons of the Argive heroes who had fought and been killed in the first Theban war, the
    subject of the Thebaid, in which Polynices and six allies (the Seven Against Thebes) attacked
    Thebes because Polynices' brother, Eteocles, refused to give up the throne as promised. The
    second Theban war, also called the war of the Epigoni, occurred ten years later, when the
    Epigoni, wishing to avenge the death of their fathers, attacked Thebes.
