Apollodorus Library 3.7.3

[3] They first laid waste the surrounding villages; then, when the Thebans advanced against them, led by Laodamas, son of Eteocles, they fought bravely, ¹ and though Laodamas killed Aegialeus, he was himself killed by Alcmaeon, ² and after his death the Thebans fled in a body within the walls. But as Tiresias told them to send a herald to treat with the Argives, and themselves to take to flight, they did send a herald to the enemy, and, mounting their children and women on the wagons, themselves fled from the city. When they had come by night to the spring called Tilphussa, Tiresias drank of it and expired. ³ After travelling far the Thebans built the city of Hestiaea and took up their abode there.
