Leibethra (Greek Λείβηθρα, also Λίβηθρα Libethra ) was an ancient Macedonian city at the foot of Mount Olympus, near the present site Skotina, with significant in antiquity Dionysos sanctuary. This leads to the assumption that the inhabitants had Thracian roots. Archaeologists found here graves from the late Bronze Age (13th - 12th century BC) with rich grave goods.

According to Greek mythology, Orpheus was buried here, but other sources also report that he was born here or have lived temporarily in Leibethra. Literally, were the inhabitants of the city in ancient times as stupid.
