    Default Quick Question?

    Hello, I have a quick question about Ancient Greece that I'd like to ask you since you seem to be the right guys to ask.

    Who was Thebes? I hear a lot about them being around Greece, but I thought Thebes was south of Memphis in Africa? Did the Greeks go down there, or where the Thebes some great empire of that area?

    Thanks,
    Tzif

    There are two different Thebes'. The greek Thebes is northwest of Athens.

    As far as i know the two places had nothing to do with each other that the name.

    The Greek City of Thebes sided with the Persians in the Persian Wars, i think mostly because they were enemies of Athens and Athens fought against them but also Thebes and Boeotia would be one of the first places the Persians came to.

    The faction in Hegmonia has had more work done on its units recently and possibly there will be an update when this work is finished

    Simply put Thebes in Egypt was the capital of the old kingdom pharaohs, until it was moved to Memphis. It remained the cultural and economic center of Upper Egypt for over a millenia afterward. Thebes in Greece was the greatest play/mythology setting in Greece, housing Heracles, Edipus and many others. The city defeated Sparta to gain Hegemonic control in the 4th century BC, using the famous warriors of the sacred band.


    Believe in Hegemonia... Or the Megarian will get you.
