  House of Thebes
Laodamas lost the kingdom in the war against the Epigoni, the sons of the Seven.
Laodamas' reign was brief, ruling before a new Argive army returned a second time.
Ten years later after the first war, Laodamas led the Thebans against Epigoni (the sons of the Seven), until he was either killed or driven from Thebes, possibly fleeing with his followers to Illyria.

 EPIGONI, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
It is during the reign of Laodamas 2, and ten years after the war of the SEVEN, that the war of the EPIGONI took place, when their Argive army invaded Boeotia, and attacked Thebes.
These wars were made possible because Eriphyle let herself be bribed, first by Polynices, who gave her the Necklace of Harmonia 1, and later by Thersander 1, son of Polynices, who gave her the Robe of Harmonia 1 [for details about these incidents, see Robe and Necklace of Harmonia 1].
It is also told that when the first bribe resulted in Amphiaraus, her husband, going to war, he, on leaving for Thebes (and knowing that he would not return), instructed his sons, that they should slay their mother and march once more against Thebes.

Odysseus, thus riled up, acquits himself at the discus, and then challenges everyone–but ends by emphasizing that his “legs have lost their spring.” To that cue, Alcinous summons Demodocus, who sings what is meant to be a song for comic relief, the story of the adultery of Aphrodite and Ares.
What follows this tale of life in the peaceful city, governed, like the one on the shield of Achilles, by law, is the immediate reconciliation of Odysseus and Laodamas, the latter wishing Odysseus a safe journey home, where, as we readers know, his wife awaits him.
