Dirce Spring

Dirce Spring is a small ancient site just outside the centre of Thebes, tied to the myth of Dirce and the city's deep layer of ritual geography. It is not a grand ruin, but it belongs to the same mythic landscape as the Cadmea and the archaeological museum.

Stop if you are following Thebes' ancient stories on foot. The interest is the association as much as the spring itself.
