ArchivesRe: Polynices, Eteocles, Antigone, Ismene.
in reply to a message by Yannis
Since neither brother was victorius, both died in battle, and Polynices' name means he has achieved a lot of victories; does anyone have any idea to which "victories" the name Polynices has reference?

It could refer to athletic victories. Compare 'periodonikes', which denotes an athlete who was victorious at all four major festivals (Olympia, Pythia, Isthmia and Nemea).
