 Seven Against Thebes * People, Places, & Things * Greek Mythology: From the Iliad to the Fall of the Last Tyrant
One of the seven surviving tragedies by the Athenian playwright Aeskhylus (Aeschylus) which was produced in 467 BCE.
The seven armies Polynikes formed were led by Amphiaraus; Kapaneus (Capaneus); Eteoklus (Eteoclus); Hippomedon; Parthenopaeus; and Tydeus; the city of Thebes was called the City of Seven Gates and thus each army was to attack one of the gates.
Before the attack, Polynikes went to his exiled father and begged for his blessing but Oedipus cursed Polynikes and predicted that Polynikes and his brother, Eteokles, would both die without honor in the battle for the city; the attack failed and the two brothers died on each other’s spear.

Archaic epic consistently associates a canonical group (Adrastus, Polynices, Tydeus, Amphiaraus, Capaneus, and Parthenopaeus) with the first Theban expedition.

Next behold the huntress Atalanta's son, Parthenopaeus, a youth of peerless beauty; from Arcady he came even to the streams of Inachus, and in Argos spent his boyhood.
From this account then wonder not, Theseus, that they dared to die before the towers; for noble nurture carries honour with it, and every man, when once he hath practised virtue, scorns the name of villain.
