Thebes
During the Golden Age, Thebes was the polis of Tethys and one of the most important sea ports in the Thalassa Sea. The main city sits upon a cliff nearly seven hundred feet above sea level, with an unadorned staircase leading down to a harbor district. The acropolis lies atop a yet taller peak, with a temple dedicated to Demeter making up the heart of that acropolis.
A great wall encircles the main city, with six gates leading in, although one has been permanently sealed.
Two rivers cut around Thebes, with one flowing south toward past Korinth and the other pitching over the cliffside to create a great fall north of the settlement.

History
During the Titanomachy, Tethys abandoned the polis (and the whole of the Elládosi world). Following Zeus's victory, he later placed Demeter in charge of administrating the city. In 1550 SA, Demeter named Cadmus as the first mortal king of Thebes.
