Thebe (Mysia)
Thebe ( Greek Θήβη ; also Thebai ) was an ancient city in Mysia , northeast of the ancient Adramyttion (today Edremit ).
Thebai was considered to be the founding of Heracles , named after his wife Thebe . The city was the residence of Eetion , King of Kilikes . Strabo still names the city, but it was already deserted in his time.
