Thebes right here was a significant rival to Athens. At different periods of Greek history, it was the dominant city. Now, the last thing I wanna mention is there's just a ton of culture that comes from the Greeks and a lot of words that we even use today. For example, the word draconian, which is used for something that's very harsh. Well, that comes from Draco's Law, which came in the 7th century BCE from Athens. He composed, he was an Athenian legislator who composed a very harsh series of laws, and that's where the word draconian comes from. When people say something is Spartan, they kind of imagine it's something that's very basic or you just have the necessities.
