<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Vale of Tempe''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Κοιλάδα των Τεμπών) is the ancient name of a narrow valley in North [[Thessaly]], [[Greece]], through which the [[Pineios River (Thessaly)|Pineios River]] reaches the [[Aegean sea]]. The vale is as narrow as 25 metres in some places and is 10 kilometers long. The cliffs reach 500 meters. <br />
It is between [[Mount Olympus|Olympus]] on the north and [[Ossa]] (Kissavos) on the south.<br />

There are several myths associated with the vale: <br />

*The [[Muses]] lived by the Pineios. <br />
*[[Apollo]] chased the [[nymph]] [[Daphne]] through Tempe and defeated Darkness in the river. <br />
*[[Aphrodite]] would return to Tempe to regain her purity (a grand miracle indeed).<br />
