When Thebes was destroyed by Alexander the great in 335 BC, the only house left standing belonged to the poet Pindar. This was a significant moment, as Alexander aimed to make a statement by demolishing the city as a warning to other Greek city-states. Pindar's house was spared, possibly due to his esteemed status and contributions to Greek culture.
