About Olympos:

We are in an area covered by white rocks that are slowly turning gray. There is fire coming out of the numerous holes in the center. I am a top Mount Yanar, at 230 meters (755 ft.) from sea level. The mountain is near a valley that opens out to the Mediterranean and is five kilometers (three mi.) northwest of the city of Olympos, one of the most prominent settlements of ancient Lykia. This is the site of the eternal fire of Lykia, known by the locals as Çirali, and by all others as Khimaira (Chimera). The source of the fire is underground. The holes out of which the fire emerges remind me of an ironsmith’s forge, which brings to mind one of the most beloved of all gods: Hephaistos, the Greek god who could form any metal into artefacts of incomparable beauty. This gifted god would take zinc, gold, and silver, grab his hammer, and, working in the unbelievable heat of the ceaseless fire, shape these into the armor and weapons of all the immortals. He built shining houses for other gods. He had 20 bellows breathing heat in at different temperatures and beautiful women whom he formed from gold to help tend the fire in his forge. It was Hephaistos alone among the gods who had the privilage to create… and he created Pandora, Zeus’ plan to keep mortals weak after Prometheus stole fire and gave it to humans. This was how the Iliad described him.In ancient times fire was passed from hand to hand by torches in celebrations honoring Hephaistos to symbolize the presence of the god. It was believed that his shop was underneath volcanoes, inspiring people to build temples in his honor on these mountains. The temples were called Hephaistions. Examples of them can also be found on Etna in the Aegean, and on the Apseron Peninsula near Baku in Azerbaijan. According to ancient sources, there was a Hephaistion in Olympos as well. In fact, Hephaistos was depicted with a hammer in his hands on Olympian coins.
