ERIPHYLE

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 745 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ERIPHYLE , in
Greek
 
mythology
 ,
sister
  of Adrastus and wife of Amphiaraus. Having been bribed by Polyneices with the necklace of Harmonia, she persuaded her
husband
  to take
part
  in the expedition of the Seven against Thebes, although he knew it would prove fatal to him. Before setting out, the seer charged his sons to slay their
mother
  as soon as they heard of his death. The attack on Thebes was repulsed, and during the flight the earth opened and swallowed up Amphiaraus together with his chariot. His son Alcmaeon, as he had been bidden, slew his
mother
 , and was driven from
place
  to
place
  by the Erinyes, seeking purification and a new
home
  (Apollodorus iii. 6. 7).
