No, Thebes does not die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the city of Thebes is polluted by the unburied bodies of the dead Argive enemies and Theban traitors from the recent civil war over the royal succession. Teiresias the blind prophet indicates that the contamination will end with the burial of Polyneices' body and Antigone's release from the remote cave in which she is buried alive. The pestilential environment indeed does end with Polyneices' timely burial even though Antigone kills herself before she can be freed.

King Creon of Thebes passed a law forbidding the burial of Antigone's brother Polynices. Creon passed this law because Polynices led an army against Thebes, his native country.
