Thebes was a city-state in ancient Greece. Thebes was located in central Greece, a little to the north of Athens, and in between Delphi. Thebes was a farming city, unlike Athens and Corinth who were seaports. Thebes is strategically located on a low plateau commanding the surrounding plains of Boeotia. Thebes is the largest city-state located in Boeotia, a region in Greece. Unlike many parts of Greece where the soil was light and thin, Thebes has rich, fertile soil that is well irrigated. This made it easier for farmers to grow crops. Some of the crops they grew could have been things like barley, grapes, and olives. Leading to thebes being one of the great agricultural centers of ancient Greece. Also it has abundant springs of water.
