====Nemean Games====
Shortly after the expedition arrived in [[Nemea]], the young son of King Lycourgos was killed by a snake. In turn, Adrastus's men killed the serpent, buried the boy and held the first [[Nemean Games]] in his honor (other stories cite [[Heracles]]' triumph over the [[Nemean Lion]] as the cause of the first games). Tydeus won the boxing event at these games.<ref>Apollodorus 3.6 (Stephen M. Trzaskoma, ''Anthology of Classical Myth Translated'', pp. 51–52)</ref>
