Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
EPIGONI (" descendants ") , in
Greek
 
legend
 , the sons of the seven heroes who fought against
Thebes
  (see ADRASTUS). Ten years later, to avenge their fathers, the
Epigoni
  undertook a second expedition, which was completely successful.
Thebes
  was forced to surrender and razed to the ground. In early times the war of the
Epigoni
  was a favourite subject of epic
poetry
 . The
term
  is also applied to the descendants of the
Diadochi
 , the successors of Alexander the
Great
 .
