		In the north the basin of the Cephissus and Lake Copais lies between parallel mountain-walls continuing eastward the line of Parnassus in the extensive ridge of Helicon, the " Mountain of the Muses " (5470 ft.) and the east Locrian range in Mts.
		These ranges, which mostly lie close to the seaboard, form by their projecting spurs a narrow defile on the Phocian frontier, near the famous battlefield of Chaeroneia, and shut in Copais closely on the south between Coronea and Haliartus.
		Since then the northern plain has been largely reclaimed for agriculture, and the natural riches of the whole land are likely to develop under the influence of the railway to Athens.

		The best known of their water works is the draining of Lake Copais.
		From one of these sink-holes, there leads an uncompleted tunnel carved out of the limestone straight out toward the sea, and 16 vertical man-holes, as it were, were paced at equal distances to allow for people to descend into the conduit and clear away choking debris.
		This narrow north-east area of Copais would have been especially sensitive to blocking, whether natural or deliberate, and the island of Gla there was turned into a large fortress surrounded by a massive Cyclopean wall pierced by four gates.

		This localization, depending on the cult, is corroborated by the numerous traces of Athamas, preserved in myths around the lake of Copais.
		He is of old connected with the plain around the lake of Copais and with Mount Laphystion; that is, with the district of Orchomenus.
		In the latter version it is combined with the fact that the plain made dry by the draining of the lake of Copais was again flooded, but the blocking of the katavothra may have come about through negligence.

		Orchomenus is just north of the Cephissus where it runs into Lake Copais, and a stream called Melas, rising on the east of Orchomenus, joined the Cephissus near its mouth, the neighbouring ground being a marsh.
		Near Mount Tilphossium, however, to the south of Lake Copais, he was worsted by Sulla in a skirmish, and thinking better of the advice of Archelaus tried to prolong the war.
		Archelaus, indeed, seems to have commanded in the battle, for Mithridates was shrewd enough to know when he had a good general.

		Uplifts, with elevations of up to 2000 m and short wavelengths (30-35 km), flank three major grabens in central Greece: the Rio, Sparta, and Atalanti grabens.
		They are bordered on their landward sides by narrow basins oriented parallel to the graben axes: the Manesi and Trichonis basins at the Rio graben and Copais and Istiea basins at the Atalanti graben.
		The flexural origin of these uplift profiles is investigated here by using thin, broken plate models.

	13th Congress of the International Society for Folk Narrative Research - July 2001 - Abstracts
		In this paper, we will examine an oral folk narrative about Copais, a geographical area of the Greek mainland.
		The narrative refers to the hero Hercules and Copais in older traditional forms derived from ancient texts.
		Modern beliefs are thus rooted in ancient stories about Hercules, and about Philemon and Baucis, and there are specific motifs that refer to houses, villages and other places being sunk or destroyed.

		One particularly important series of purchases was the 'Copais collection', of mainly Attic and Boeotian pottery, amassed in Greece by a Mrs Steele who had worked with the company that drained Lake Copais in the twenties.
		Over the years, the Museum has owed a good deal to benefactors.

		It seems as if Boeotia had been a kind of new land of the Mycenaean civilization which, coming of course from the south, occupied two great centers and penetrated less into the country.
		The draining of the lake of Copais, which provided a vast area of arable land for the profit of the town doing the work corroborates this view.
		This is of course only a suggestion and it may be judged on its own merits.

	Paul Lafargue: Myth of Athena (1890)
		Considering that incessant warfare was carried on by the savage tribes of primitive Greece; that the towns, in consequence, were built like eagles’ nests, high up amid the rocks, and hence could not easily have been stormed, it is improbable that these two towns should have been built on the borders of a lake.
		Very possibly the Bœotian Athens, and Eleusis were two lake cities, the rather that [sic] Lake Copais was rich in fishes, and that in the time of Aristophanes and Pausanias its eels were considered very delicate eating.
		, § xxxiv.) Serapis had a temple at Copæ, a small town on the banks of Lake Copais, mentioned by Homer.

		But, setting this aside, we have, as our starting-point, a barbarian population, believers in sorcery, and, in some places, undoubtedly cannibals, maintaining, in the central and northern parts of Europe, their existence with difficulty by reason of the severity of the climate.
		In the southern, more congenial conditions permitted a form of civilization to commence, of which the rude Cyclopean structures here and there met with, such as the ruins of Orchomenos, the lion gate of Mycenae, the tunnel of Lake Copais, are perhaps the vestiges.
		At what period this intrusive Indo-Germanic column made its attack cannot be ascertained.
