What did Alexander do when thebes rebelled?

When Thebes rebelled against Macedonian rule in 335 BCE, Alexander the Great responded decisively. He swiftly marched his army to the city, besieging it and ultimately capturing it within a week. Alexander ordered the destruction of Thebes, sparing only the house of the poet Pindar, and sold many of its inhabitants into slavery. This brutal response served as a warning to other Greek city-states about the consequences of rebellion against his authority.
