  Amphiaraus, Greek Mythology Link.
His earthly father, Oicles, was son either of Antiphates 3 or of Mantius (both sons of Melampus 1, the 'excellent seer'), and his mother Hypermnestra 2 was sister of both Leda (the woman who laid the egg from which Helen was born), and Althaea, mother of Meleager.
Otherwise, King Oicles of Argos is son either of Antiphates 3 (king of Argos before him) and Zeuxippe 4, or of Mantius.
Oicles helped Heracles 1, during the latter's expedition against Troy, where he was killed in battle by King Laomedon 1.

Oracles promised deliverance if Laomedon would expose his daughter Hesione to be devoured by the sea monster (in other versions, the lot happened to fall on her) and he exposed her by fastening her to the rocks near the sea.
Heracles (along with Telamon and Oicles) happened to arrive on their return from the expedition against the Amazons.
Seeing her exposed, Heracles promised to save her on condition that Laomedon would give him the wonderful horses he had received from Zeus as compensation for Zeus' kidnapping of Ganymede.

 Seven Against Thebes
The problem was that Adrastus' brother-in-law, Amphiaraüs (Amphiaraus), a warrior seer, did not want to go to Thebes because he knew the expedition was doomed to fail and only Adrastus would survive the war.
Amphiaraüs was the son of Oicles and Hypermnestra, and descendant of one of the greatest seers, Melampus.
Amphiaraüs was one of the heroes who sailed on the Argo with Jason (see the Argonauts), and he was the second hero to wound the boar in Calydon, after Atalanta drew the first blood (see Calydonian Boar Hunt).

For the men of those days, because of their righteousness and piety, were guests of the gods, eating at the same board ;the good were openly honored by the gods, and sinners were openly visited with their wrath.
Nay, in those days men were changed to gods, who down to the present day have honors paid to them--Aristaeus, Britomartis of Crete, Heracles the son of Alcmena, Amphiaraus the son of Oicles, and besides these Polydeuces and Castor.
So one might believe that Lycaon was turned into a beast, and Niobe, the daughter of Tantalus, into a stone.
