Boeotia was also a region of ancient Greece, from before the 6th century BC. Traditionally, the Boeotians are said to have originally occupied Thessaly, the largest fertile plain in Greece, and to have been dispossessed by the north-western Thessalians two generations after the Fall of Troy (1200 BC). The older myths took their final form during the Mycenean age (1600–1200 BC) when the Mycenean Greeks established themselves in Boeotia and the city of Thebes became an important centre. Graea, an ancient city in Boeotia, is sometimes thought to be the origin of the Latin word Graecus, from which English derives the words Greece and Greeks. In historical times, the leading city of Boeotia was Thebes, whose central position and military strength made it a suitable capital;[9] other major towns were Orchomenus, Plataea, and Thespiae.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4834.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4834.txt
