Boeotia is an expansive and varied region in central Greece. The city of Thebes, which once served as its capital, is located south of Lake Kopais.
History
Boeotia is characterized by the large, central Lake Kopais which in turn holds the ancient ruins of Gla. West of this was Orchomenos which, before the Peloponnesian War, was once a prosperous city.[1]
The Peloponnesian War
During the Peloponnesian War the region of Boeotia was embroiled in civil unrest, so much that it was virtually a perpetual battleground. Atrocities committed by local militia ran high, with a notable example being that of Mykalessos, a village that was razed to the ground. As a result of frequent pillaging, the previously self-sufficient, agricultural Boeotia saw much of its farmland destroyed, resulting in an extreme scarcity of resources during this era.[1]
