It is in defense of his legitimate claim that Polyneices leads the invasion of the "Seven Against Thebes" by Aeschylus (525/524 B.C.E. - 455/456 B.C.E.).Specifically, twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices are joint heirs to the Theban throne. They are supposed to rule in a joint power sharing arrangement of alternating years on the throne. But supported by their uncle Creon, Eteocles does not hand over the throne when his year is up. Polyneices, who is exiled, marries into the Argive royal house. He therefore receives Argive support to assert his royal claim by force.
