Theban cavalry were very good, taking advantage of the disordered hoplites, but nonetheless one was thrown back and the other won through a succession of bad die from Jon.
The Theban cavalry and some skirmishers were on their right in good ground with the Boetian allied hoplites facing the Spartans and then the Theban hoplites, once again very deep, with the Sacred Band anchoring the far right.

 An earlier draft of Chapter II of The medieval tradition of Thebes : history and narrative in the OF Roman de Thèbes, ...
By contrast, the OF poet’s blending of Theban matters with Trojan history had a lasting impact on the medieval tradition of Thebes, and, in fact, lies at the heart of the next vernacular Theban narrative, Giovanni Boccaccio’s Il Teseida, a poem set in the period between the Theban and Trojan wars.
Additionally, he distinguishes the opposing sides of the conflict at Thebes as “the Greeks” and “the Thebans” (despite the fact that the Thebans are Greek) in imitation of the later conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans.
More importantly, the Theban setting he creates in the poem is distinctly corrupt in a way that all medieval audiences would appreciate, for Chaucer recreates not the ancient landscape of the Thebaid, but the medieval, and eastern, landscape of the OF Roman de Thèbes, an area firmly under the control of Infidels.

 p. piccione: theban tombs publication project brochure
purpose of the Theban Tombs Publication Project is to document the history, architecture, decorations, and contents of two rock-cut noblemen's tombs located at the top of the hill of Sheikh abd el-Gurna in Western Thebes, Egypt.
The architecture of Rây's tomb is unique among all Theban private tombs, since its facade--with its system of colonnades, ramps, and terraces--is actually executed in the style of a royal terrace temple, the most famous example of which is the picturesque temple of Queen Hatshepsut and that of Thutmose III at Deir
its first two field seasons, 1990 and 1991, the Theban Tombs Publication Project was conducted under the aegis of the Serapis Research Institute, Chicago, while it received significant logistical and organizational support in the field from The Oriental Institute Epigraphic Survey at Chicago House, Luxor (Egypt).

Although the three plays carry forward the development of one legend, The Theban Plays were not written to be performed as a group and are therefore not a trilogy in the sense of The Oresteia.
It is no mean task to capture for modern audiences the excitement that these plays held for the original Greek audiences, distanced for us as they are by 2,500 years of reverence and the conventions of classical Greek drama.
