A self-guided route links museum displays and urban sites associated with Cadmus, Oedipus, Dionysus and the Seven Against Thebes.
Use mythology as a framework for navigating the modern city, while distinguishing literary tradition from excavated evidence. Begin at the museum, plot a compact route and carry water because shade varies. Street crossings are part of the experience, and not every traditional location has visible remains. A guide can add value for visitors unfamiliar with Theban source traditions.
