the name of several mountains; one bounding Bithynia on the south. Another in the island of Cyprus, on whose top was a temple of Venus, which women were not permitted either to enter or to see, (Strabo.) A third Olympus of Galatia, (Livy.) A fourth, of Lycia, with a noble cognominal town, near near the sea-coast, (Strabo, Cicero); extinct in Pliny's time, there remaining only a citadel: the town was destroyed by P. Servilius Iauricus, (Florus); having been the retreat of pirates. From this mountain there was an extensive prospect of Lycia, Pamphylia, and Pisidia, (Strabo.) A fifth Olympus of Myia, (Ptolemy); thence surnamed Olympena, anciently Minor; one of the highest mountains, and surnamed Mytus, (Theophrastus); situate on the Propontis, and thence extending more inland. A sixth, on the north of Thelys, or on the confines of Macedonia; famous for the fable of the giants, (Virgil, Horace, Seneca;) reckoned the highest in the whole world, and to exceed the flight of birds, (Apuleius;) which is the reason of its being called heaven, than which nothing is higher: the serenity and calmness which reign there are celebrated by Homer, Lucan, and Claudian.
