Leuctra or Leuktra (Ancient Greek: τὰ Λεῦκτρα, romanized: tà Leûktra, Attic Greek pronunciation: [tà lêu̯k.tra] or τὸ Λεῦκτρον, tò Leûktron [tò lêu̯k.tron]) was a village of ancient Boeotia, situated on the road from Thespiae to Plataea, and in the territory of the former city. Its name only occurs in history on account of the celebrated Battle of Leuctra fought in its neighbourhood between the Spartans and Thebans in 371 BCE, by which the supremacy of Sparta was demolished. In the plain of Leuctra, was the tomb of the two daughters of , a Leuctrian, both were violated by Spartans, and had afterwards slain themselves; this tomb was crowned with wreaths by Epaminondas before the battle, since an oracle had predicted that the Spartans would be defeated at this spot.

  • Leuctra (en griego, Λεῦκτρα) es el nombre de una antigua ciudad griega de Beocia. Se trata del lugar donde se desarrolló la batalla donde los tebanos, al mando de Epaminondas, derrotaron a los espartanos dirigidos por Cleómbroto en el año 371 a. C., lo que supuso el inicio de la hegemonía tebana y el fin de la espartana.​ En el territorio de Leuctra se encontraba el sepulcro de las hijas de Escedaso, Molpia e Hipó, a las que llaman las Léuctridas. Estas habían sido ultrajadas por dos espartanos, Frurárquidas y Partenio. Por ello se ahorcaron y se les dio allí sepultura. Su padre, tras acudir a Esparta y no conseguir obtener ninguna reparación por el suceso, lanzó imprecaciones sobre los espartanos, y luego se dio a sí mismo la muerte sobre el sepulcro de las doncellas. Previamente a la batalla de Leuctra, Epaminondas o Pelópidas realizaron sacrificios en honor de ellas.​​ Se encontraba en el camino entre Platea y Tespias, aunque no se conoce su ubicación exacta, pero se suele situar en la localidad llamada Parapungia que ha recuperado el nombre de Lefktra, a unos 6 km de Tespias.​​ (es)

The site of Leuctra is near the modern village of Lefktra, renamed to reflect to connection with the ancient place. (en)
