Where is Thebes in Greek mythology?

Thebes, called Thivai in Greek.

The main city in Boeotia in central-eastern Greece, one of the important cities and powerful countries in ancient Greece. Legend says that Thebes was founded by Cadmus and was the residence of King Oedipus and the site of many famous Greek tragedies. The seven-door wall, a famous building in the city, is generally considered to be a characteristic of Amphion.

In the Bronze Age (1500 BC to 1200 BC), Thebes was a center of the Mycenaean government. Due to conflicts of interest with Athens, he cooperated with the Persians and Spartans in the Persian War and the Peloponnesian War respectively. Subsequently, conflicts broke out between Thebans and Spartans, and the city was occupied by the Spartans.

About 380 BC, the Thebans revolted and defeated the Spartans at the battles of Tegyra (375 BC) and Leuctra (371 BC). Over the next ten years, Thebes became the main military force in Greece.

In 338 BC, he and the Athenians fought against Philip II of the Kingdom of Macedon, and were later defeated in the Battle of Chaeronea. Thebes was conquered by Alexander the Great in 336 BC and finally came under Roman rule in the 1st century BC. The only remaining historical sites in Thebes include the remains of the ancient city walls, the Mycenaean palace (1450-1350 BC) and a temple of Apollo.

Another: Thebes is also translated as Thebes. Because it is easy to be confused with the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, the author thinks that it is better to translate the Greek version as Thebes
