Thebe (Ancient Greek: Θήβη) is a feminine name mentioned several times in Greek mythology, in accounts that imply multiple female characters, four of whom are said to have had three cities named Thebes after them:
Thebe, daughter of Zeus and Megacleite[6] and sister of Locrus, the man who assisted Amphion and Zethus in the building of Thebes.[7] She later on married Zethus.
Thebe, daughter of Prometheus, and also a possible eponym of the Boeotian Thebes.[8]
