History
Dion was a settlement of Pieria located on the border between Macedonia and Thessaly. It was held, traditionally, as the place of Orpheus' death and burial. In the Roman Imperial period, it became a Roman colonia. The adjacent modern village, now known as Dion, is sometimes also referenced by its earlier modern name Malathria.
