After the death of Heracles, his children escaped the clutches of the pursuing Eurystheus and eventually settled in Athens. Eurystheus attempted an invasion of Athens but was soundly defeated and slain. They escaped to Thessaly and were then adopted by the chief of the Dorian peoples; Aegimius. Heracles' son Hyllus was adopted by Aegimius, married his daughter and succeeded him as king of the Dorians. Hyllus received a prophecy that if he "waited for the third fruit' and entered by "the narrow passage by sea" he would be victorious. After three years Hyllus invaded the Peloponessus via the Isthmus of Corinth, to attack Atreus, Eurystheus' successor but was slain in single combat by King Echemus of Arcadia in single combat.
