Thebes is home to the Municipality of Thebes and one of the 20 most ancient cities in the world. Its founder, according to mythology, was Cadmus, the brother of Europe, after which the European Continent was named. It is also the birthplace of the mythical Hercules, the god Dionysus, the lyric poet Pindarus (poet of the Olympic Games), and the famous general and politician Epaminondas. It is also the city that inspired the great tragic poets Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides to write world-famous masterpieces such as Antigoni, Oedipus Tyrannos and others.
