Overview

In Greek mythology, Athos is the name of one of the Giants, and an enemy that Poseidon fought. He is best known for the creation of Mount Athos, a mountain and peninsula in Chalcidice, northern Greece, which is now an important centre of Eastern Orthodox monasticism. In Greek it is commonly called , meaning 'Holy Mountain'. Family The Giants were born from Gaia, the goddess of the earth, when Uranus's (sky) blood dripped on her. In one account, he was the son of Poseidon by the Naiad nymph Rhodope, daughter of the river-god Strymon (the modern Struma). Mythology The mountain took its name after this Athos, who was attacked by Poseidon, the god of the sea. The citation is incomplete, as it fails to establish that the mountain was named from the giant. Stephanus of Byzantium attributed the story to some lost work by Nicander, where he apparently described Poseidon hurling two blocks with his hands against the gigantic Athos. Eustathius of Thessalonica says that then Poseidon trapped Athos under the mountain. See also

Notable quotes

“Given all the ways – both explicit and subtle – in which hesychasm is profoundly embroidered into the fabric of contemporary monasticism at the Holy Mountain, it is thus justified to conclude that not only is hesychasm Athonite, but Athos too is fundamentally hesychast.”
— Dorobantu, Marius (2022). Hesychasm at the Holy Mountain: Athos is Hesychast and Hesychasm is Athonite. Routledge Handbook of Mount Athos. London: Routledge.
“To every prospective visitor to Athos, this is my advice. Take with you no more than a light knapsack, stout walking boots, and a staff. Travel on foot. Walk alone. You will have to endure the steepness of the way, the sharpness of the stones, the heat, sweat, and exhaustion. But you will also begin to understand the Psalmist’s words, ‘Be still, and know that I am God’ (Ps. 45 [46]: 10).”
