History
Hymettos is a long mountain in Attica, which separates the plain (pedion) around the city of Athens from the interior of Attica (Mesogaia). It is divided into a northern section (Megas Hymettos) and a southern section (Anydros Hymettos) by the Pinari gorge. It was the site of marble quarries, forests, bee cultivation, and various cults.
