Thebes
The Forgotten City of Ancient Greece
Continuously inhabited for five millennia, and at one point the most powerful city in Ancient Greece, Thebes has been overshadowed by its better-known rivals, Athens and Sparta.

Cadmus is a Phoenician-born prince and the founder and king of Thebes in Boeotia in Greek mythology. #History #Thebes(Greece) #GreekMythology #Europa #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Cadmus/
