Boeotia
Boeotia is a region of central Greece north of Attica, whose fertile plains were dominated in antiquity by Thebes. Its cities, including Orchomenus, Thespiae and Plataea, formed the Boeotian League, and it was the scene of major battles such as Plataea, Leuctra and Chaeronea. Under Epaminondas, Thebes briefly became the leading Greek power in the 360s BCE.
