Leivithra was an ancient Macedonian city at the foot of Mount Olympus, near the present settlement of Skotina. Archaeologists have discovered tombs there from the late Bronze Age (13th-12th century BC) containing rich burial objects. According to Greek mythology, depending on the source consulted, Orpheus is said to have been born in Leivithra, to have been buried there, or to have lived in the city only temporarily.
