That they do not rule harmoniously and that they kill each other are the punishments for Antigone's brothers in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone's twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices inherit the Theban crown and throne from their parents, disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. The brothers expect to alternate years of rule in a joint power sharing arrangement. But Eteocles does not give up the royal powers at the end of the first year. The brothers decide to fight when Eteocles exiles Polyneices and he and his uncle Creon indicate that they never will recognize Polyneices' legitimate claim. During the final battle of the first civil war over the Theban royal succession, the brothers become engaged in a bloody duel that ends in both their deaths. They are cursed, and their discordant years between Oedipus' overthrow and their deaths are true to that curse.
