Creusis or Kreusis (Ancient Greek: Κρεῦσις), or Creusa or Kreousa (Κρέουσα), also Creusia or Kreousia (Κρεουσία), was a town of ancient Boeotia, at the head of a small bay in the Corinthian Gulf, described by ancient writers as the port of Thespiae. The navigation from Peloponnesus to Creusis is described by Pausanias as insecure, on account of the many headlands which it was necessary to double, and of the violent gusts of wind rushing down from the mountains. Creusis was on the borders of Megaris. One of the highest points of Mount Cithaeron projects into the sea between Creusis and Aegosthena, the frontier town in Megaris, leaving no passage along the shore except a narrow path on the side of the mountain.

  • Creusis (en grec antic Κρεῦσις) o Creusa (Κρέουσα) era una ciutat de Beòcia situada en una petita badia al golf de Corint, que els autors antics diuen que era el port de Tèspies. Pausànies deia que la navegació des del Peloponès fins a Creusis era insegura, a causa dels nombrosos caps que calia resseguir i dels forts vents que baixaven de les muntanyes. La ciutat es trobava a la frontera amb Megaris. Un dels pics del mont Citeró es troba entre Creusis i Aegosthena i no deixa cap pas al llarg de la costa, només un petit sender al peu de la muntanya. Aquest pas és perillós de creuar si bufa fort el vent. En dues ocasions els lacedemonis es van retirar de Beòcia per aquest pas, per tal d'evitar altres vies més directes i més vigilades a través del mont Citeró. La primera vegada va ser l'any 378 aC, quan els espartans dirigits per Cleombrot van patir una tempesta molt violenta i el vent arrencava de les seves mans els escuts dels soldats i les bèsties de càrrega eren arrossegades als precipicis. La segona vegada que hi van passar va ser després de la fatal Batalla de Leuctra l'any 371 aC, segons Xenofont. No es coneix amb seguretat l'emplaçament de la ciutat de Creusis. (ca)

In confirmation of Pausanias, William Martin Leake, who visited the site in the 19th century, remarks that this termination of Mt. Cithaeron, as well as all the adjoining part of the , is subject to sudden gusts of wind, by which the passage of such a cornice is sometimes rendered dangerous. On two occasions the Lacedaemonians retreated from Boeotia by this route, in order to avoid the more direct roads across Mt. Cithaeron. On the first of these occasions, in 378 BCE, the Lacedaemonian army under Cleombrotus I was overtaken by such a violent storm that the shields of the soldiers were wrested from their hands by the wind, and many of the beasts of burden were blown over the precipices. The second time that they took this route was after the fatal Battle of Leuctra, in 371 BCE. Its site is located near modern . (en)
