Thebes is the home of Hercules, and Iolaus. Deianeira and her sister were also born here.

In Iolaus's youth, Thebes prepared to go to war with Sparta. (Young Hercules: "Con Ares") Not long afterwards, Discord amused herself by getting involved with (or causing) a property disputed in Thebes.

Hera sent her soldiers and the Enforcer II to attack Thebes when her worship in the area declined. (HTLJ "Not Fade Away")

Following the death of Alcmene, Hercules became a full god, and Iolaus, processing these events, visited his mother Erythia, who still lived in Thebes. ("Reunions")
