Lake in eastern THESSALY, west of Magnesia and Mt. PELION (BA 55 D1; Müller I, 318–19). In Herodotus’ explanation of how all of Thessaly was formerly a giant lake, he notes that the RIVERS flowing down from the surrounding mountains and Lake Boebeis were at that time not yet distinct and thus without names (7.129.3; cf. Strabo 9.5.2/C430). HOMER in the Catalogue of Ships mentions the lake, on whose shores Pherae sat (Il. 2.711); there was also a city named Boebe (Strabo 9.5.15/C436). The modern Lake Karla has recently been partially restored, after it was drained by the Greek government in 1962.
