Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

The Phocian Passes are a series of rugged mountain trails winding through the steep, rocky terrain of central Greece. These strategically significant routes have served as critical links between the regions of Boeotia and Locris, especially during times of conflict such as the Peloponnesian War, when control over the passes defined the balance of power.
