Encyclopedia > Theban

Two important places in antiquity were called Thebes:

  • Thebes, Greece – Thebes of the Seven Gates; one-time capital of Boeotia.
  • Thebes, Egypt – Thebes of the Hundred Gates; one-time capital of the New Kingdom.

Several other things, including a city in Cilicia, have also shared the similar name Thebe.
