Seven against Thebes.

The Seven against Thebes (Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας) (Hepta epi Thēbas) were seven characters in Greek mythology. They were at war in Thebes.

Eteocles (Ἐτεοκλῆς) (Eteoklês) and Polynices (Πολυνείκης) (Polyneíkes) were sons of Oedipus. The conflict started with them.

Polynices, Tydeus (Τυδεύς) (Tūdeus), Amphiaraus, Capaneus, Parthenopaeus, Hippomedon, and Eteoclus were the seven against Thebes.

They wanted to overthrow Eteocles and restore his brother Polynices to the throne. Almost all of them perished.

In the legends, Polynices took the necklace of Harmonia.

Also, there is a tragedy (play) of the same name written by Aeschylus.

Heliades.

Heliades (Ἡλιάδες), or Phaethontides (Φαεθοντίδες) were the daughters of Helios and Clymene.

In Greek myths and legends there were seven Heliades: Merope, Aegle, Lampetia, Phoebe, Aetherie, and Dioxippe. Also, they had a brother named Phaёthon (Φαέθων) (Phaéthōn).

He died when Phaёthon drove his father Helios's chariot across the sky.
