Leuctra (Laconia)

Leuctra or Leuktra (Ancient Greek: τὰ Λεῦκτρα),^[1] also Leuctrum or Leuktron (τὸ Λεῦκτρον),^[2] was a town of ancient Laconia, situated on the eastern side of the Messenian Gulf, 20 stadia north of Pephnus, and 60 stadia south of Cardamyle. Strabo speaks of Leuctrum as a colony of the Leuctra in Boeotia, near the minor Pamisus, but this river flows into the sea at Pephnus, about three miles (5 km) south of Leuctrum.^[2]
