Romance of Thebes is a literary subject that has been treated in several languages. French Le Roman de Th bes is a poem of some 10,000 lines that appears to be based, not on the Thebaid Latin poem Thebaid of Statius , but on an abridgment of that work. This view is supported by the omission of incidents and details which, in spite of the altered conditions under which the poem was composed, would naturally have been preserved in any imitation of the Thebaid , while again certain modifications of the version of Statius can hardly be due to the author s invention but point to an ancient origin. As in other poems of the same kind, the marvellous disappears the Ancient Greece Greeks adopt the French methods of warfare and the French code of Chivalry chivalric love. The Roman dates from the 12th century c. 1150 55 , and is written, not in the tirades of the chansons de geste , but in octosyllabic rhymed couplet s. It was once attributed to Beno t de Sainte Maure but all that can be said is that the Thebes is prior to the Roman de Troie , of which Beno t was undoubtedly the author. The Thebes is preserved also in several French prose redactions, the first of which, printed in the 16th century under the name of Edipus , belongs to the early years of the 13th century, and originally formed part of a compilation of ancient history, Histoire ancienne jusqu Caesar .

Pammenes in Ancient Greek polytonic was a Thebes, Greece Theban general of considerable celebrity during the 4th century BC. He was connected with Epaminondas by political and friendly ties. When Philip II of Macedon Philip , the future king of Macedon ia, was sent as hostage to Thebes, he was placed under the care of Pammenes. r plut1 26 In 371, when Megalopolis, Greece Megalopolis was founded, as it was apprehended that the Sparta ns would attack those engaged in that work, Epaminondas sent Pammenes at the head of 1000 picked troops to defend them. r paus 8.27 In 352, a party amongst the Megalopolitans were for dissolving the community, and returning to their own cantons, and called upon the Mantinea ns and other Peloponnese Peloponnesians , for aid. The Megalopolitans who opposed this dissolution of the state called in the aid of the Thebans, who sent Pammenes with 3000 foot soldiers and 300 cavalry to their assistance. With this force Pammenes overcame all resistance, and compelled those who had left Megalopolis to return. r diod 15.94 When Artabazus of Phrygia Artabazus revolted in 356 against Artaxerxes III of Persia Artaxerxes III , king of Achaemenid Empire Persia , Pammenes led a body of 5000 Thebans to the aid of the former, and overcame the forces of the king in two great battles. r diod 16.34 But Artabazus, suspecting that he was intriguing with his enemies, arrested him, and handed him over to his brothers, Oxythras and Dibictus. r pol 7.33 5.16 Pammenes is spoken of as being greatly addicted to paiderastia .

Socrates attacks Simmias s Analogy with four different arguments ref Plato, Phaedo , 92a7 95a6 ref Harmonia argument would be a contradiction to the Anamnesis philosophy anamnesis argument that Simmias had already agreed on before. If the soul would be a tune, and bodies can be tuned differently, there would be more or lesser souls which is not possible. Virtue is the proper attunement of the soul, and vice the lack of such an attunement. But if the soul itself is an attunement, then virtue and vice would be attunements of an attunement. But an attunement can t participate in non attunement. So if a soul is a perfect attunement, it could not have virtue or vice. The soul is the ruling principle of the body.

Megareus or Menoeceus of Thebes was the son of Eurydice of Thebes and Creon , a king of Ancient Thebes Boeotia Thebes , ref Sophocles. Antigone, 1307 1308, ed. David Grene and Richmond Lattimore. Chicago University of Chicago Press, 1991 ref who appears in Antigone Sophocles Antigone , a play by Sophocles . Megareus, also called Menoeceus in some versions of Antigone, had died fighting for Eteocles in the first attack on Thebes after Creon warned him to stay away from the battle because he feared for his safety, Megareus, feeling overly confident, joined the battle because he didn t want to be thought of as a coward. Being an inexperienced soldier, he was killed at once. He is mentioned in Sophocles Antigone, when his mother kills herself after learning that her son Haemon and his betrothed, Antigone, had both committed suicide. She thrusts a sword into her heart and curses Creon for the death of her two sons Haemon and Megareus. In traditional Greek mythology, Megareus is known for his large stature, and is considered an anthropomorphic representation of his father s pride by some literary scholars. In the struggle between the twins, Creon supports Eteocles. Megareus wants to fight on Eteocles side, but Creon doesn t want him to. He even less wants him to, once he hears what Teiresias the blind prophet has to say. Teiresias says that Eteocles will win if Creon sacrifices Megareus. But Creon doesn t want to sacrifice his own son, Neither does he want Teiresias to share this vital piece of information with the rest of Thebes. So he has Megareus leave, to be sheltered outside the city and away from the conflict. But Megareus sneaks back, and dies during the struggle, to make sure that his city wins against the army of invading Argives and discontented Thebans.
