The Cephissus or Kifisos (Greek:Κηφισός) is a river in central Greece. In Greek mythology the river god Cephissus was associated with this river. The river rises at Lilaia in Phocis, on the northwestern slope of Mount Parnassus. It flows east through the Boeotian plain, passing the towns Amfikleia, Kato Tithorea and Orchomenos. It drained into Lake Copais, which was therefore also called the Cephisian Lake, until 1887, when the lake was drained. An artificial outflow has been created to Lake Yliki (ancient Hylice), further east.
Pausanias records a Theban tradition that the river Cephissus formerly flowed under a mountain and entered the sea until Heracles blocked the passage and diverted the water into the Orchomenian plain; but he does not believe it.
Pausanias also says that the Lilaeans on certain days threw cakes and other customary items into the spring of the Cephissus and that they would reappear in the spring of Castalia.
Boeotia, sometimes alternatively Latinised as Beotia (/biːˈoʊʃiə/ or /biːˈoʊʃə/; Greek:Βοιωτία, Modern Greek:[vi.oˈti.a], Ancient Greek:[bojɔːtía]; modern transliteration Voiotía, also Viotía, formerly Cadmeis), is one of the regional units of Greece. It is part of the region of Central Greece. It was also a region of ancient Greece. Its capital is Livadeia, and its largest city is Thebes.
The main mountain ranges of Boeotia are Mount Parnassus in the west, Mount Helicon in the southwest, Cithaeron in the south and Parnitha in the east. Its longest river, the Cephissus, flows in the central part, where most of the low-lying areas of Boeotia are found.
Lake Copais was a large lake in the center of Boeotia. It was drained in the 19th century. Lake Yliki is a large lake near Thebes.

As my Patrons will know, and keen-eyed followers on Instagram might have guessed, I've been compiling my experiences from an epic adventure through Greece earlier this year. Walking (/driving) in the footsteps of some of the greatest ancients, we travelled from Athens, up to Delphi, across the Rio–Antirrio Bridge, around the Peloponnesus and back.
Such an Odyssey couldn't come without a video, and the scale of it has turned out to be big enough for several videos!
So with that, please join me on my travels in part one - Boeotia! With Thebes, Leuktra and more, come along to see some...

New investigations and finds at the Mycenaean palace of Thebes (Boeotia)
Vassilis Aravantinos
(Ephor Emeritus of Boeotia)
From the outset excavations in Boeotian Thebes aimed to elucidate the city's most ancient past, echoed in Greek mythology. Early archaeological work demonstrated that a major administrative centre had been established on the Kadmeion hill during the Mycenaean palatial period (1450-1200 BC). However, excavations in the past 30 years, coupled with the study of older finds and comparative evidence from other Mycenaean centres, have yielded major insights into previously unresolved issues. Thus it is now clear that Thebes possessed a fortification wall comprising stone foundations and a mud brick superstructure comparable to those found throughout the Aegean and Hittite worlds. While the absence of monumental tholos tombs, as known from other palatial centres and Boeotian Orchomenos, had long perplexed scholars, the chamber tomb on the Kastelli hill — the largest known and uniquely furnished with figural frescoes —clearly befits the ruler of a powerful centre. The size and extent of the legendary 'House of Kadmos' has also generated much debate. Ongoing excavations reveal that widely distributed throughout the Kadmeia are buildings of palatial quality, often decorated with wall-paintings, together with storerooms and workshops containing prestige items, and deposits of Linear B tablets. The central building is estimated to be double the width of the Palace of Nestor at Pylos. Moreover the staggering wealth of finds in situ attest to a thriving palatial centre, destroyed suddenly at the height of its powers, and left substantially unlooted.

The Cephissus or Kifisos (Greek:Κηφισός) is a river in central Greece. In Greek mythology the river god Cephissus was associated with this river. The river rises at Lilaia in Phocis, on the northwestern slope of Mount Parnassus. It flows east through the Boeotian plain, passing the towns Amfikleia, Kato Tithorea and Orchomenos. It drained into Lake Copais, which was therefore also called the Cephisian Lake, until 1887, when the lake was drained. An artificial outflow has been created to Lake Yliki (ancient Hylice), further east.
Pausanias records a Theban tradition that the river Cephissus formerly flowed under a mountain and entered the sea until Heracles blocked the passage and diverted the water into the Orchomenian plain; but he does not believe it.
Pausanias also says that the Lilaeans on certain days threw cakes and other customary items into the spring of the Cephissus and that they would reappear in the spring of Castalia.
