Question

While this group feasts, a spear turns into a tree after an eagle drops it from a great height, marking where one of its members will die. That member of this group, along with his chariot, is swallowed by the earth before (10[1])Periclymenus (10[1])can kill him. Athena denies (10[1])another member (10[1])of this group an immortality potion (10[1])after seeing him grab (10[1])a severed head (10[2])and eat brains. (10[2]-5[1])This group’s members (10[3])dip their hands in blood (-5[1])to swear an oath on the hide of a sacrificed bull. The divine (-5[1])horse Arion saves this group’s (10[1])leader and only survivor, as related in an epic by (10[1])Statius. (10[1]-5[1])The Epigoni (10[1])(“eh-PIG-oh-nee”) are (10[1])sons of this group’s members, including Amphiaraus (10[2])(“am-fee-uh-RAY-us”), Tydeus, and their leader (-5[1])Adrastus. (-5[1])A play by (10[1])Aeschylus (“ESS-kuh-luss”) is named (10[1])after, (10[1])for points, (10[1])what group of warriors (10[1])who united (10[1])to (10[1])defeat Eteocles (10[1])(“ee-TEE-oh-kleez”) and his city? ■END■ (10[4]0[7])
