ancient times Livadia was known under the name of Mideia and was the
site of the famous Oracle of Zeus Trofonios. Scholars have

Livadia is very fertile thanks to the abundant water in the region
and the two springs, to the north of the town at the site of Kria,
known in mythology as Lethe (Forgetfulness) and Mnemosyne (Memory).
The district area Viotia (Boeotia) was called "tristhalatto"
(three-seas) - a name mentioned by Strabo - because it was washed by
the two halves of the gulf of Euboea and the Corinthian Gulf. An
important role in the Revolution of 1821, one comes to the Byzantine
monastery of Ossios Loukas, whose 11th century mosaics and frescoes
are among the finest in Greece.
