For a discussion of early sources for these six, see Gantz, pp. 506–508, 510. For the two competing genealogies for Parthenopaeus, see Fowler 2013, pp. 411–412; Gantz, p. 188. Amphiaraus as the son of Oicles is attested as early as Homer, Odyssey, 15.243. For the fathers of both Adrastus and Amphiaraus see Bacchylides, 9.15–19; and Pindar, Nemean, 9.9–17, Olympian 6.13–17. For all six see Hyginus, Fabulae 70 (which adds that "some" said that Amphiaraus was the son of Apollo); and Apollodorus, 3.6.3. Pausanias, 10.10.3 describes an Argive monument at Delphi depicting the champions which, according to Pausanias, included all of these six, except for Parthenopaeus. The omission is usually explained by the fact that the Archive monument excluded Parthenopaeus because he was not considered to be an Argive, see Gantz, p. 517.

For Mecisteus as a son of Talaus and brother of Adrastus, see Homer, Iliad 2.565–566, 23.677–680; Apollodorus, 1.9.13. Mecisteus, although not mentioned as being one of the seven champions, is mentioned as a brother of Adrastus and a combatant at Thebes by Herodotus, 5.67.3, and Pausanias, 9.18.1, where he is said to have been killed (like Tydeus) by Melanippus.

According to most accounts Amphiaraus was the slayer of Melanippus, however, a possible interpolation in Apollodorus says that Tydeus, though mortally wounded, managed to kill Melanippus himself, see Hard, p. 320; Fowler 2013, p. 412; Gantz, p. 518; Apollodorus, 3.6.8, with Frazer's note 4.

Oldfather's note 16 to Diodorus Siculus, 4.65.9; Plutarch, Theseus 29.4–5. Herodotus, 9.27, says that, during the Battle of Plataea (479 BC), the Athenians cited this event as one of the great achievements of Athens; compare with Lysias, Funeral Oration 7–10; Isocrates Panegyricus 54. Pausanias, 1.39.2, reports seeing the tombs of the Seven on the road leading out of Eleusis.

For a discussion of early sources for these six, see Gantz, pp. 506–508, 510. For the two competing genealogies for Parthenopaeus, see Fowler 2013, pp. 411–412; Gantz, p. 188. Amphiaraus as the son of Oicles is attested as early as Homer, Odyssey, 15.243. For the fathers of both Adrastus and Amphiaraus see Bacchylides, 9.15–19; and Pindar, Nemean, 9.9–17, Olympian 6.13–17. For all six see Hyginus, Fabulae 70 (which adds that "some" said that Amphiaraus was the son of Apollo); and Apollodorus, 3.6.3. Pausanias, 10.10.3 describes an Argive monument at Delphi depicting the champions which, according to Pausanias, included all of these six, except for Parthenopaeus. The omission is usually explained by the fact that the Archive monument excluded Parthenopaeus because he was not considered to be an Argive, see Gantz, p. 517.

For Mecisteus as a son of Talaus and brother of Adrastus, see Homer, Iliad 2.565–566, 23.677–680; Apollodorus, 1.9.13. Mecisteus, although not mentioned as being one of the seven champions, is mentioned as a brother of Adrastus and a combatant at Thebes by Herodotus, 5.67.3, and Pausanias, 9.18.1, where he is said to have been killed (like Tydeus) by Melanippus.
