| | Tisiphone is certainly not the patron deity of Thebes in the Thebaid: she along with the other Furies are portrayed as vindictive and merciless deities who inspire men to violence and is directly responsible, for instance, for the duel between Polynices and Eteocles. | | | Anyway, for Thebes, I would have said the central state god was surely Dionysos: see Pausanias, who says, in connection with the House of Cadmus on the Cadmea that "there is also a story that along with the thunderbolt hurled at the bridal chamber of Semele, there fell a log from heaven. | | | Based on Statius' Thebaid, one might say that Tisiphone is the patron god of Thebes. |

| | Thebes, Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | No details of the earlier history of Thebes have been preserved, except that it was governed by a land-holding aristocracy who safeguarded their integrity by rigid statutes about the ownership of property and its transmission. | | | A revulsion of feeling was completed in 338 by the orator Demosthenes, who persuaded Thebes to join Athens in a final attempt to bar Philip's advance upon Attica. | | | The aversion to Athens best serves to explain the unpatriotic attitude which Thebes displayed during the Persian invasion of Greece (480–479 BC). |

| | It was the failed attempt by Thebes, a few years later, in 431, in violation of the Thirty Year Peace of 446 between Athens and Sparta, to recapture the Boeotian city of Platæa, which had remained a faithful ally of Athens, which marked the start of the Peloponesian war (see Thucydides, II, 2, sq). | | | Yet Antigone, their sister, who had come back to Thebes after the death of Oedipus at Colonus, refused to obey the decree and to let her brother without burial rites, prefering to honor the gods rather than to obey the law. | | | When the relations between Athens and Sparta started deteriorating, Thebes sided with the later and contributed to the defeat of Athens at the battle of Tanagra in 457, only to be defeated by Athens at Oenophita two months later after the Spartans had returned home (see Thucydides, I, 107-108). |

| | Amphiaraos worshipped as god at Thebes, Oropos and Argos and for many centuries was giving prophetic answers to peoples questions. | | | Making use of their lyre, which had been taught from the god Hermes, they started building the walls of Thebes, the stones moving by themselves, obeying the rhythm of their song. | | | When they had prepared and the purpose of the expedition was made known, many of the allies refused to take part, especially the Corinthians, who had friendly relations at that time with Athens, withdrew their forces. |
