A view of the polis

Thebes is a municipality in Boeotia, Greece. In classical antiquity, it was a powerful polis located in the Cursed Land of Oedipous.

According to the legends, Thebes was founded by Kadmos. He chased after his sister Europa after she was stolen away by the Greek god Zeus.[1]

In the 5th century BCE, Thebes was among the most powerful Greek city-states, rivaled only by Athens and Sparta. Prior to the Peloponnesian War, it was the home of the Legendary Seven Warriors.[1]
