Polynices
In Greek mythology, Polynices (Greek: Πολυνείκης, transl. ''Polyneíkes'', "manifold strife") was the son of Oedipus and Jocasta. His wife was Argea. His father, Oedipus, was discovered to have killed his father and married his mother, and was expelled from Thebes, leaving his sons Eteocles and Polynices to rule. Because of a curse put on them by their father Oedipus, the sons Polynices and Eteocles did not share the rule peacefully and died as a result by killing each other in a battle for the control of Thebes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Oedipus Plays )〕
==Oedipus's curse==
In the ''Thebaid'', the brothers were cursed by their father for their disrespect towards him on two occasions. The first of these occurred when they served him using the silver table of Cadmus and a golden cup, which he had forbidden.〔Gantz, Timothy. ''Early Greek Myth''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1993, p. 502〕 The brothers then sent him the haunch of a sacrificed animal, rather than the shoulder, which he deserved. Enraged, Oedipus prayed to Zeus that the brothers would die by each other's hand.〔Gantz, Timothy. ''Early Greek Myth''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1993, p. 503〕 However, in Sophocles' ''Oedipus at Colonus'', Oedipus desired to stay in Thebes but was expelled by Creon. His sons argued over the throne, but Eteocles gained the support of the Thebans and expelled Polynices, who went to Oedipus to ask for his blessing to retake the city, but instead was cursed to die by his brother's hand.〔Sophocles, ''Oedipus at Colonus'', lines 1350-1395〕
His son was Thersander.
