Sperchiae or Sperchiai (Ancient Greek: Σπέρχεια) or Spercheiae or Spercheiai (Σπερχείαι)[1] was a fortress in Ainis in ancient Thessaly, which, according to the description of Livy, would seem to have been situated at no great distance from the sources of the Spercheius.
[4] William Smith concludes it probable that these three names indicate the same place.
[5] Livy relates that the place was destroyed by the Aetolians in 198 BCE.
[2] Sperchiae's site is at a place called Kastrorakhi.
