An army of discontented Thebans and invading Argives is the army that Polyneices joins. He is exiled from the city when it's his turn to assume the throne of Thebes. But his twin brother, Eteocles, doesn't honor the joint power sharing arrangement. Instead, he continues to rule after his year is up. That leaves Polyneices with the option of claiming his rights and his throne by force.
