Epigonoi and its descendents are good words.  The insistent question

| Perché gli Epigoni dovrebbero essere inferiori ai progenitori?

has been repeated for two odd millenia now, but the pejorative sense
of these words fills a need, and I think that the best response to
this question is that descendents who are not inferior should not
be/are not properly called epigoni.
