	Diomedes 2, Greek Mythology Link.
		This expedition, remembered as that of the SEVEN AGAINST THEBES, failed; and since all leaders perished (with the exception of Adrastus 1), there was never occasion for Tydeus 2 to return, either to Argos or Calydon, and therefore Diomedes 2 became a permanent resident in Argos.
		Ten years after these events, the sons of the SEVEN, known as the EPIGONI (one of which was Diomedes 2), attacked Thebes, and being successful where their fathers had failed, they put Polynices' son Thersander 1 on the throne.
		Behind this conspiracy were the sons of Agrius 3 (brother of Oeneus 2 and the man who had banished Tydeus 2), who put their own father on the throne and Oeneus 2 in jail.

	[New-Poetry] The Death of Literary Theory? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Anyone who has had the misfortune to peek into the library of deconstructivist literature knows that Poe’s story is a favorite object of lucubration.
		The two Jacques, Derrida and Lacan, both devoted many impenetrable pages to the story, as have many of their epigoni.
		We thought of Poe’s classic story recently when alerted by a friend to The New York Times’s account of a conference about literary theory sponsored by Critical Inquiry, a hermetic quarterly that has long been home to deconstructionists, post-structuralists, Lacanian-psychoanalysts, and other acolytes of academic tergiversation.

		Accordingly, local infantrymen trained under their local leader and Alexander called upon them when he needed their support in battle. The other group of infantry aside from the ethnic units comprises a large group of young Persian soldiers who were trained together for four years in Macedonian combat and Greek literature.
		By the end of his reign, several Asian cavalry units served alongside Macedonian elite cavalry troops. Were the Epigoni and elite Asian cavalry a foreshadowing of Alexander’s vision for a unity of Persians and Greeks or was this strategically motivated for Alexander to maintain a loyal army who would follow Alexander’s orders unconditionally?
		The creation of the Epigoni, coupled with the elevation of Persian troops to serve alongside the Macedonian elite illustrate that Alexander went a step further than simply calling on the Persians for support.

		IT IS DIFFICULT for me to know if I am, or am not, of the "young generation." I came to political awareness in the Depression and joined the Young People's Socialist League in 1932, at the precocious age of thirteen.
		But, other than attacking these magazines, there was little in Dissent itself that was new; it never exemplified what it meant by radicalism; and it has not been able, especially in politics, to propose anything.

		Subsequent additions, deletions, and substitutions to this list occur in the literature and iconography of the archaic and classical period as well as in Apollodorus.
		Cingano also investigates the genealogical discrepancies in the lists of the Seven and of the Epigoni, observing that some members of the latter group are not directly descended from the former.
		Factors such as the influence of Athenian tragic representations of the Theban saga and the shifting alliances between Thebes, Argos, Athens, and Sparta may have given rise to the inclusion or exclusion of particular heroes or to the promotion of particular genealogies.
