The fifteenth (15th) century B.C.E. may have been the founding date of Thebes.
Specifically, Theban King Thersander is a Trojan War contemporary if not Trojan horse participant. He is Polyneices' son, King Oedipus' grandson, King Laius' great-grandson, King Labdacus' great-great-grandson, King Polydorus' great-great-great-grandson and Founder King Cadmus' great-great-great-great-grandson. Let us give each of these individuals an age of 25-30 when they become fathers and let us accept the dates of 1194 B.C.E. - 1184 B.C.E. as the years of the Trojan War. We therefore end up with a range of 155-210 years before the war by multiplying 25-30 years by seven individuals. This in fact agrees with the Mycenean Age (1600 B.C.E. - 1100 B.C.E.) dating of artifacts at the Thebes archaeological site.
