The Cadmea
The modern centre occupies the plateau of the ancient acropolis, so the street pattern traces the outline of the hill where Thebes began.

About this Thívai map poster
Thívai, the modern town on the site of ancient Thebes, lies in Boeotia in Central Greece, northwest of Athens. The town centre stands on the Cadmea, the low plateau that served as the acropolis of the ancient city. From above, the built area is compact, surrounded by the flat, farmed plains of Boeotia.
Thebes is one of the most storied cities of the Greek world. It is the setting of the myths of Cadmus, Oedipus and the Seven against Thebes, and was a major power in the classical period. Remains of the ancient city appear within the modern town, and its archaeological museum holds finds from across the region.
A Thívai map poster shows a town layered on an ancient site. The modern streets follow the shape of the hill, and roads lead out toward the plain and neighbouring towns. In black and white, the compact centre and wide farmland around it give a clear sense of a place that has stood here for millennia.

Why Thívai
A map that means something
Thebes speaks to readers of Greek tragedy and mythology as much as to people who call the town home. A map of it is an elegant choice for a library, study or classroom wall.
