PRINT DESCRIPTION : Mount Erymanthos (Greek: ???µa????, Latin and older form: Erymanthus) is a dense mountain range south of Patras in the middle of Achaia prefecture. The mountains is also called Olonos (O?????). Historically it was in northwestern Arcadia and was the second tallest in the historic Arcadia, the northern portion belonged to the historic Achaea. It is the fourth tallest mountain in the Peloponnese peninsula with an elevation of 2,224 m and is named Olenos or Olonos. The summit is located by the prefectural boundary of the Ilia. In the south, the Achaia-Ilia prefectural boundary is situated and lasts for about 25 to 30 km. Erymanthos is surrounded by Mount Skollis to the west and in the middle a valley filled with farmlands, Panachaiko and Omplos to the north along with other, several smaller mountains to the east and further east Chelmos which can be seen and more to the south. Its rock colour is brown, butterscotch and tan and several dry streams can be seen at the mountaintop. In ancient times, it was famous as the residence of the Erymanthian Boar. In Greek mythology, the king of Arcadia, Lycaon, had a boar that was named Erymanthus, after the mountain. Heracles (Hercules) captured the Erymanthian Boar and brought it back to Eurystheus as one of his 12 labors. Between the Byzantine and the Greek War of Independence, several villages were founded, including Skiada and Oreino. After World War II and the Greek Civil War, most villages were rebuilt. On February 5, 2008, the mountain was shaken by two earthquakes measuring at 5.5 on the Richter scale. Its epicenter was centred in Chalandritsa, the other in Farres, outside the ranges. A VERY RARE VIEW OF THE PICTURESQUE LANDSCAPE OF GREECE, IT’S ISLANDS AND RARE CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE AND RUINS!
