Amphion founded and walled seven-gated Thebes.
“‘Next to her I saw Antiope, daughter to Asopus, who could boast of having slept in the arms of even Jove himself, and who bore him two sons Amphion and Zethus. These founded Thebes with its seven gates, and built a wall all round it; for strong though they were they could not hold Thebes till they had walled it. ”
Amphion and Zethus found seven-gated Thebes and build its encircling wall because strength alone cannot hold it.
“two sons Amphion and Zethus. These founded Thebes with its seven gates, and built a wall all round it; for strong though they were they could not hold Thebes till they had walled it”
