An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Boebeis Lake (Βοιβηΐς λίμνη, Βοιβία λίμνη, and Βοιβιάς λίμνη) was a lake of Magnesia in ancient Thessaly, mentioned by Homer, and named for the town (Boebe) on its southeastern shore. The lake is frequently mentioned by the ancient writers. It received the rivers Onchestus, , and several smaller streams, but had no outlet for its waters. From its proximity to Mount Ossa, it is called "Ossaea Boebeis" by Lucan. Athena is said to have bathed her feet in its waters, which is perhaps the reason why Propertius speaks of "sanctae Boebeidos undae." The lake was a long narrow piece of water, and is now called Lake Karla from a village which has disappeared.

  • El lago Bebeide (Βοιβηΐς λίμνη,​​ Βοιβία λίμνη,​ and Βοιβιάς λίμνη​) fue un lago de en la antigua Tesalia que ya menciona Homero, y que debía su nombre a la ciudad de Bebe, que se hallaba en la orilla meridional. Lo mencionan a menudo los autores de la Antigüedad. En el desaguaban los ríos Onquesto, Amiro y otros menores; el lago no vertía sus aguas en ningún río. Lucano lo llamó Ossaea Boebeis por su cercanía al monte Osa.​ Se decía que Atenea se había bañado los pies en sus aguas,​​ probable razón por la cual Propercio lo llamó sanctae Boebeidos undae.​ El lago era alargado y su lugar lo ocupó luego el lago Karla, llamado así por un pueblo ya desaparecido.
