Lake Copais

About

Lake Copais, also spelled Kopais or Kopaida (Ancient), was a lake in the centre of Boeotia, Greece, west of Thebes. It was first drained in the Bronze Age, and drained again in the late 19th century. It is now flat dry land and is still known as Kopaida. A one-time island in the lake was modified in ancient times into a megalithic citadel, now called Gla. Lake Copais is also featured in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Odyssey (2018).
