a celebrated mountain, or rather a mountain range of Attica, forming the S.E. boundary of the Athenian plain. It consists of two separate parts, the northern or Greater Hymettus, now called Telo-Vani, and the southern or Lesser Hymettus, described by the ancients as Anhydrus, or the Waterless, and now called Marro-Vani. The highest point of Hymettus is 3506 feet above the level of the sea. The honey of Hymettus was regarded by the ancients as only inferior to that of Hybla; and the classics abound in allusions to the excellence and beauty of its marble. (See Attica.)
