Print was published in Germany in Meyer's Universum by Bibliographic Institute Hildburghausen, Germany. Mount Olympus, Modern Greek ÓROS ÓLIMBOS, mountain peak, the highest (9,570 feet [2,917 m]) in Greece. It is part of the Olympus massif near the Gulf of Thérmai of the Aegean Sea and lies astride the border between Macedonia and Thessaly. It is also designated as Upper Olympus (Greek: Áno Ólimbos), as opposed to Lower Olympus (Káto Ólimbos), an adjacent peak on the south rising to 5,210 feet (1,588 m). Mount Olympus is snowcapped and often has cloud cover. According to Homer's Odyssey, however, the peak never has storms and it basks in cloudless aither (Greek: "pure upper air"; thus "ether"). Later writers elaborated upon this description, which may have originated from the observation that the peak is often visible above a belt of relatively low clouds. In Greek mythology, Mount Olympus was regarded as the abode of the gods and the site of the throne of Zeus. The name Olympus was used for several other mountains as well as hills, villages, and mythical personages in Greece and Asia Minor.
