'''Thebes''' was one of many [[city states]] in ancient [[Greece]]. Under [[Sparta]]n control for most of its ancient history, Thebes broke away during a revolt from 379 to 371 B.C. and their surprising victory over Sparta in the [[Battle of Leuctra]] under their great military general [[Epaminondas]] in 371 B.C. not only solidified their independence, but temporarily made them the most powerful city state in Greece. They were so feared that even traditional rivals [[Athens]] and [[Sparta]] formed an alliance against them. Theban supremacy ended soon however with the rise of [[Philip of Macedon]] who took prominence and of course under his son [[Alexander the Great]].
