Mount Zeus (Mount Zas on many road signs) is 1,004
meters high. On the side of the mountain are a spring and a
cave where some legends say Zeus was born. According to other Greek
myths, Zeus was born in Crete but
brought up in Naxos. Mount Zas got its name because it was
on its peak that an eagle gave Zeus thunder. With that power he became the ruler
of Olympus. Mt. Zas is the highest elevation on all the
Cyclade Islands. |
