 The main battle took place at Glisas where Prince Aegialeus (son of Adrastus and heir to the throne) was slain by King Laodamas, who was in turn killed by Alcmaeon.With their king dead, the Thebans, believing this to be the end for them, sought counsel from the seer Tiresias, who urged them to flee the city.They did so, and, faced with no opposition, the Epigoni entered the city, plundering its treasures and tearing down its great walls.
