And so in retaliation, Alexander the Great completely destroys Thebes, this famous city of antiquity, this only few decades before this time, the leading city-state in all of Greece. And so he destroys Thebes, he enslaves its people. But that's what allows him to essentially scare the rest of the city-states of Greece to come in line. He hasn't conquered Sparta, or his empire hasn't conquered Sparta, that'll happen soon, but the rest, but it really consolidates his power. And now we're talking 335 BCE, he's ready to think about doing what his father was planning and going off and trying to conquer Asia.
