<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Mount Olympus&#039;&#039;&#039; (also on modern maps, &#039;&#039;&#039;Óros Ólimbos&#039;&#039;&#039;) is the highest mountain in [[Greece]], at 2,917 (or 2,919, according to new measurements [http://www.summitpost.org/show/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/986]) meters high.<br /> <br /> Mount Olympus is noted for its very rich flora with several endemic species. The highest peak on Mount Olympus is Mitikas, which in Greek means &quot;nose.&quot; There are two refuges on a plain about forty five minutes away from Mitikas. Mitikas is the highest peak in [[Greece]], the second highest being Stefani. Any climb to Mount Olympus starts from the town of [[Litochoro]], which took the name &#039;&#039;City of Gods&#039;&#039; because of its location in the roots of the mountain. <br /> <br /> In [[Greek mythology]], Mount Olympus is the home of the [[Twelve Olympians]], the principal gods in the Greek pantheon. The Greeks thought of it as built up with crystal mansions wherein the gods, such as [[Zeus]], dwelt. <br /> <br /> The etymology and meaning of the name &#039;&#039;Olympus&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;Olympos&#039;&#039;) is unknown, and it may be of Pre-Indo-European origin.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Greek mythology]]<br /> [[Category:Mountains of Greece|Olympus, Mount]]</div>
