ABSTRACT
Adrastus was now restored to the throne of Argos and, in spite of warnings from Amphiaraus (a prophet), agreed to help Polynices and Tydeus to recover their thrones, of Thebes and Calydon respectively. Adrastus noticed that the two young men were wearing animal skins-Polynices a lionskin and Tydeus a boarskin-and, obeying the dictates of an oracle that bade him marry his daughters to a lion and a boar, gave the girls Argia and Deiphyle to the two young men in marriage. Adrastus, who had married his own niece Amphithea, had one other daughter, Aegialia, and two sons, Aegialeus and Cyanippus.
