Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Lower Larymna (Ancient Greek: Λάρυμνα) was a town in ancient Boeotia, on the river Cephissus. Strabo which relates that the Cephissus emerged from its subterranean channel in Upper Larymna, and joined the sea at the Lower Larymna; Upper Larymna belonged to ancient Phocis until it was annexed to the Lower or Boeotian Larymna by the Romans. Upper Larymna belonged originally to the Opuntian Locris, and Lycophron mentions it as one of the towns of Ajax Oïleus. Pausanias also states that it was originally Locrian; and he adds, that it voluntarily joined the Boeotian League on the increase of the power of the Thebans. This, however, probably did not take place in the time of Epaminondas, as the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax, written subsequently, still calls it a Locrian town. It may have joined the Boeotian league after Thebes had been rebuilt by Cassander. In the year 230 BCE, Larymna is described as a Boeotian town; and in the time of Sulla it is again spoken of as a Boeotian town.
