An ancient region of central Greece
north of Attica and west of Megara and the Gulf of
Corinth. The early inhabitants were from Thessaly.
The city of Thebes dominated the region. Delphi, the
most celebrated Oracle of antiquity, had her abode
in Boeotia, on Mount Parnassus. Mount Helicon,
sacred to the god Apollo, was home to the nine
Muses. It was from Boeotia that the children of King
Athamas fled, leading to the quest for the Golden
Fleece. See Jason and the Argonauts under Jason.
