Chief city of Boeotia in ancient Greece destroyed by Alexander the Great (6)

I believe the answer is:

thebes

(Other definitions for thebes that I've seen before include "Ancient Egyptian city sited at modern-day Luxor" , "Ancient Egyptian or Greek city" , "Old city of Greece or Egypt" , "Old Egyptian city" , "Ancient Nile city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
