- Eteocles,
- The elder sonne of Oedipus, by his owne mo∣ther Iocasta. Betwéene whome and his brother Poli∣nices this agreement was made, that after the depar∣ture of their father, they should reigne yerely by course. But Eteocles, after his yeare was ended, woulde not suffer his brother to succeede. Wherefore Poly••••ces, beyng ayded of Tydeus, & his wiues father ••drastus, made cruell warre vppon hys brother, in which▪ they both méeting in the fielde, were eche of other staine. Af∣terwarde, when both their bodyes were burned in the fire, the report goeth, that the flame parted it selfe, and went a sunder, as a signe of such deadly hatred betwene the two brothers, that as their mindes being aliue, so their bodyes being deade, coulde neuer agree. Of thys hatred such steppes remayned in the posteritie, that the warre was aftercontinued most deadly by the chyldren of them, which at thys first war were slaine. A notable example was this of such mischiefe, as commonly by diuine prouidence followeth them that are begotten in incest, against the course of nature.
