Pras ( Ancient Greek: Πρᾶς) [1] was a town of Phthiotis in ancient Thessaly, a little south of Pharsalus. Agesilaus, on his return from Asia in 394 BCE, gained a victory over the Thessalian cavalry nearby. The Thessalians, after their defeat, took refuge on Mount Narthacium, between which and Pras, Agesilaus set up a trophy. On the following day he crossed the mountains of the Achaean Phthiotis.
