Mount Hymettos is a mountain range east of Athens in the region of Attika, Greece.
In classical antiquity, the mountain contained a shrine dedicated to Zeus Ombrios, the bringer of rain. By the 5th century BCE the shrine had largely eroded, leaving only a statue.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, the mountain and the statue were visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[1]
