Pindar the poet was spared
Pindar's the poet
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.
Before he even pursued the idea (properly) of heading to Persia, he sacked Thebes using seige weapons, cavalry and most importantly the Macedonian phalanx. At Alexander's request to show his generosity, he asked that the house of Pindar, the poet, be the only building spared.

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.
