The Siege of Thebes lasted from 292 until 291 BC. The city was put under siege by King Demetrius I of Macedon after it had revolted against Macedonian rule. In 293 the Boeotians had revolted against Demetrius' rule but the revolt was quickly put down. In 292 the region revolted again, led by the same man, Peisis of Thespiae, whom Demetrius had pardoned the previous year. The city finally fell in 291 BC or even 290 BC. Demetrius showed leniency and only executed a few leaders of the rebellion.
