Extrait du document
Greek A mountain range in northern
Greece. Its highest peak is Mount Olympus (about
9,600 feet high). The Olympic range stretches along
the border between Thessaly and Macedonia, near the
Aegean coast. The range overlooks the Vale of Tempe,
a valley in northern Thessaly famous for its beauty.
In mythology, Mount Olympus was regarded as
the home of the Olympian gods. Within its mysterious
heights, higher even than the visible mountain,
were the abodes of the gods; there lived Zeus, Hera,
and all members of the Greek pantheon. They
feasted on ambrosia and nectar and listened to sweet
music. No harsh winds, rain, or snow disturbed their
heavenly peace.
