Polynices attacked Thebes to reclaim his rightful throne, which he believed was usurped by his brother Eteocles. According to the myth, the two brothers had agreed to alternate rule, but Eteocles refused to step down after his term. This betrayal led Polynices to gather an army and launch an assault on the city, culminating in the conflict known as the Seven Against Thebes. The attack was driven by themes of family loyalty, betrayal, and the struggle for power.

Twin brothers and heirs to the Theban throne is what Eteocles and Polyneices are in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Eteocles and Polyneices are the eldest sons of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. But their parents' humiliation do not prevent Eteocles and Polyneices from inheriting the crown and throne of Thebes. The problem is that Eteocles does not like to share and refuses to hand over royal powers when his year of rule is up.
