The Epigoni
Thebes
In ancient Thebes, Greece.
After Oedipus steps down from the throne of Thebes, his sons, Eteocles and Polynices, take turns ruling the city. However, the arrangement quickly deteriorates into conflict, leading to a civil war. Ultimately, both brothers end up killing each other in battle, resulting in a power vacuum that leaves Thebes without strong leadership. Their sister, Antigone, also plays a significant role in the aftermath of their deaths.
Some fifteen to twenty (15-20) years before the action of the play "Oedipus Rex" Oedipus is considered to have freed Thebes from the Sphinx.Specifically, ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) gives no dates or times for the events before and during the action of the play. But Oedipus indicates that he is not worried about what will happen to his twin sons, Eteocles and Polyneices, who are already grown up. Based upon what is known about eligibility to take over the throne, which both of his sons could and would do, the general notion is that defeating the Sphinx, marrying Theban Queen Jocasta and becoming King of Thebes happened in Oedipus' life about 15-20 years before his fall from grace as a killer and sex offender.
Eteocles is buried with honor because he died defending Thebes from Polyneices. Polyneices is left to rot because he attacked Thebes to take power from his brother, Eteocles. The two had agreed to share power, but Eteocles refused to trade off, so Polyneices attacked him. Because Kreon is in Thebes, he views the brother who is defending Thebes as being in the right.
