| | History of Thebes |
 | | Epameinondas too, returned to Thebes and he was put to a trial, because he extended the time of his expedition and also for being pacific and inactive. | | | Thebes found a new peak in the middle ages. | | | Thebes had no experienced and knowledgeable men, nor her economy could withstand this. |

| | Thebes |
| | Thebes was once more deprived of its leadership over Boeotian cities and Philip installed a Macedonian garrison in Thebes. | | | Yet, Thebes managed to once again reconstruct the Confederacy and, under the leadership of Gorgidas and, above all, Epaminondas, reached the peak of its glory. | | | No matter what, the fact is that, on his way, somewhere at a crossroad on narrow paths, he met Laius, not knowing who he was. |

| | Ethics of Philip, Demosthenes, and Alexander by Sanderson Beck |
| | In his trial Demosthenes asked for a detailed accounting of the sums he had received and from whom, and he argued that the council was trying to please Alexander by prosecuting him; he was convicted, fined fifty talents, and put in prison until he could pay. | | | Rather Aeschines and his party had brought their nearest neighbors in Megara, Thebes, and Euboea closer to enmity than to friendship, while Demosthenes secured their assistance along with that of Achaea, Corinth, Leucas, and Corcyra, which all together raised 15,000 mercenary troops and 2,000 citizen cavalry. | | | While the Greek mercenaries on opposite sides fished together for eels wondering why some of them were fighting to establish Phoenicians closer to Greece, the idea of joining together against the foreigners persuaded Mago to take his fleet back to Carthage, where he killed himself. |

| | Thebes, Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Today the city of Thebes still exists on Greek soil but only as a shadow of its former self. | | | Philip was content to deprive Thebes of her dominion over Boeotia; but an unsuccessful revolt in 335 against his son Alexander was punished by Macedon and other Greek states by the severe sacking of the city, except, according to tradition, the house of the poet Pindar. | | | The victorious Greeks subsequently punished Thebes by depriving it of the presidency of the Boeotian League, and an attempt by the Spartans to expel it from the Delphic amphictyony was only frustrated by the intercession of Athens. |

| | After some masterly operations between Sparta and Mantineia, by which he nearly captured both these towns, he engaged in a decisive battle on the latter site, and by his vigorous shock tactics gained a complete victory over his opponents. | | | Accused on his return to Thebes of having exceeded the term of his command, he made good his defense and was reelected boeotarch. | | | In 371 he represented Thebes at the congress in Sparta, and by his refusal to surrender the Boeotian cities under Theban control prevented the conclusion of a general peace. |
