Thebe

A city in Mysia.

  King Eetion ruled the Kilikians (Cilicians) at Thebe, under Mount Plakos (Placus). Eetion's daughter Andromache married Trojan Prince Hektor and moved to Troy before Achilles raided Thebe, killing Eetion and Andromache's brothers.

  A woman named Chryseis lived in Thebe before she was enslaved by Achilles. She was given to the Achaian (Achaean) commander-in-chief, Agamemnon but eventually freed and returned to her father.
