"The gods can keep Olympus. This is the best view in all the Greek world."
Kassandra[src]

Mount Taygetos (Greek: Ταΰγετος), also known as "Profitis Ilias", or "Prophet Elias" is the highest peak of the mountain range located in Peloponnese, Greece. The name 'Taygetos' is one of oldest recorded, appearing in the Homer's Odyssey. During Byzantine times and up until the 19th century, the mountain was also known as Pentadaktylos (Πενταδάκτυλος; Greek for 'five-fingered').

History

Sometime during the mid 440s BCE, the baby Alexios was sentenced to death after the serving Pythia of the Sanctuary of Delphi, Praxithea, foretold that Leonidas' grandchild would bring ruin to Sparta, as per the order of the Cult of Kosmos. Kassandra attempted to save her brother and pushed the priest off the cliff to his death and was sentenced to death for murder. Nikolaos ended up causing her to fall from the top of Mount Taygetos. However, both children survived and became fierce warriors.[1]
