Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

The Fountain of Dirce was a well-known spring in Thebes, associated with the myth of Dirce, wife of Lycus, who was said to have been killed here. The fountain provided fresh water for the city and was also a prominent landmark associated with Theban mythology. As a central water source, the fountain was important for the city’s daily life, and its mythological connection made it a symbol of Theban heritage and local lore.
