'''Amphiaraus''' or '''Amphiaraos''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|æ|m|f|i|ə|ˈ|r|eɪ|ə|s}}; [[Ancient Greek]]: Ἀμφιάραος, Ἀμφιάρεως, "very sacred"<ref>''[[Oxford Classical Dictionary]]'' s.v. Amphiaraus.</ref>) was in [[Greek mythology]] the son of [[Oicles]], a seer, and one of the leaders of the [[Seven against Thebes]]. Amphiaraus at first refused to go with [[Adrastus]] on this expedition against Thebes as he foresaw the death of everyone who joined the expedition. His wife, [[Eriphyle]], eventually compelled him to go.<ref>''[[Oxford Classical Dictionary]]'' s.v. Amphiaraus; Parada, s.v. Amphiaraus.</ref>
