The wife of the doomed seer, Amphiaraus, and the mother of Alkmaeon (Alcmaeon).
Eriphyle accepted an irresistible bribe from Polynikes (Polynices) and induced her husband to go on the ill fated quest to capture the city of Thebes; Polynikes gave Eriphyle the Necklace of Harmonia which he had inherited as a direct descendant of Kadmus (Cadmus) and Harmonia; the necklace was thought to be cursed and the death of Amphiaraus gave credence to that belief.
