Thespiae
Thespiae was an ancient Greek polis in Boeotia at the foot of Mount Helicon, famous for its cults of Eros and the Muses and for sending a contingent to Thermopylae. Archaeological remains lie across a gently sloping valley and the lower flank of the Helicon ridge and include an acropolis, a Hellenistic theatre, a long Ionic stoa, sanctuaries and funerary monuments.

What Thespiae looked like in its prime.
Set on the lower slopes of Mount Helicon, the site reads as a planted valley of olive and cypress with terraces and scattered low foundations of pale local limestone. At its prime a long white Ionic colonnade ran along a terrace, a semi-circular stone theatre was cut into the hillside, and a compact oval acropolis with a ring wall crowned a low rise. Small temple cellae and rows of statue bases and plinths clustered in groves beside a narrow river; votive marble and bronze figures punctuated the lawns.
