  Thessalia
Region of northern Greece between Doris south and Macedon north, the coast of the Ægean Sea east and Epirus west (area 2).
Thessalia was a region of plains surrounded by mountains : east, along the coast of the Ægean Sea, Mount Ossa and, further south, in the peninsula of Magnesia, Mount Pelion ; north, Mount Olympus ; west, the Pindus Range ; and south, the Othrys Range.
Several rivers, gathering to form the Peneus, were flowing from the surrounding mountains across these plains and a great lake, lake Boebeis, remnant of a time when most of these plains were under water, still covered a large area of southeastern Thessalia (see Herodotus, VII, 129).
