On the right bank of the Pineios sat a temple to Apollo, near which the laurels used to crown the victorious in the Pythian Games were gathered. The Vale of Tempe also was home for a time to Aristaeus , son of Apollo and Cyrene , and it was here that he chased Eurydice , wife of Orpheus , who, in her flight, was bitten by a serpent and died. In the thirteenth century AD a church dedicated to Aghia (Saint) Paraskevi was erected in the valley. The city of Tempe, Arizona is named for it, as is a farm in the Eastern Cape of South Africa , with nearby farms named Olympus and Ossa. |
