Question

A group including Adrastus and Tydeus attacked this place to restore (*) Polynices. The Necklace of Harmonia brought misfortune to this (10[1])city, which was besieged by the Sphinx. This city is founded where dragon teeth are planted and turn into warriors, after the abduction of Europa. Cadmus founded this city, which was ruled by (10[1])Oedipus, and later fought by “seven against” this city. For 10 points, name this Greek city, which often warred with Sparta and Athens. ■END■
