	98.3.02
		In his discussion of the phenomenon of co-regency among Alexander's Diadochoi and their sons in "The Succession of the Epigonoi" Richard Billows shows that the relationship of the Epigonoi to this successful military heritage was a problematic one.
		This co-regency was not the creation of a subordinate king or viceroy, but rather a way of closely and obviously associating the son with the successful father on the throne.
		Therein however, B. argues, lay the insecurity of the Epigonoi; compelled to invoke the successes of their fathers to justify their own royal status they could not but emphasize at the same time their own lesser deeds and abilities.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.05.25 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		If the first line of the Epigonoi was the point of change for this word, the transformation seems rather abrupt over a few generations of singers.
		One might expect the semantic switch from young male heroes to young female virgins to be more cautious, but it is not; there are numerous cases of the word used of females, and one even finds it used of the immortal Charites at Il.14.267.
		The famous first line of the Epigonoi certainly represents a stage in the development of this word, and it may well have exerted influence on subsequent generations, as Burkert suggests; perhaps its author was aware of the same double-entendre which Aristophanes makes some centuries later.

	Dialogue 16-17 background Notes
		Proceeding now from the general to the specific, let us explore the wording of Aeschylus' Seven against Thebes, as a "neo-epic," and of Pindar's Pythian 8, as a "micro-epic," concerning the overall epic narrative about the Seven against Thebes and their sons, the Epigonoi.
		This parallelism of Pindar's Pythian 8 with Aeschylus' Seven is particularly remarkable in view of the epic identity of the hero Amphiaraus: he is one of the original Seven against Thebes and his son Alcmaeon is one of the Epigonoi.
		The parallel visualizations of Pindar and Aeschylus are conjuring parallel visions emanating from the epic tradition of the Thebaid and the Epigonoi.
