Excerpt from Alcmaeon, Hypermestra, Caeneus Since the story of Alcmaeon is complicated by the number of personages of several generations, the following notes are added for reference. Talaos, the father of Adrastos and of Eriphyle, was driven out of Argos and killed by Amphiaraos. Adrastos and Eriphyle retreated to Sicyon, then called Aegialeia. Afterward Adrastos returned to reign over Argos jointly with Amphiaraos, who married Eriphyle. Alcmaeon and Amphilochos were sons of Amphiaraos and Eriphyle. Adrastos had two sons, Aegialeus and, later, Cyanippos, and two daughters, Argeia and Deipyle. Tydeus married Deipyle and Polynices Argeia, by whom he had a son, Thersandros. Polynices had been deprived by his brother Eteocles of his joint right in the kingdom of Thebes. Together with Adrastos and other chiefs he made the attack of the " Seven against Thebes." The second attack was made by the sons of the Seven, known as the Epigoni, on Laodamas, the son of Eteocles. The family of Atreus, which had succeeded Eurystheus at Mycenae, took no part in these wars. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
