OETA (mod. Kotavothra)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 14 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OETA (mod. Kotavothra) , a
mountain
  to the
south
  of Thessaly, in
Greece
 , forming a boundary between the valleys of the Spercheius and the Boeotian Cephissus. It is an offshoot of the
Pindus
  range, 7o8o ft. high. In its eastern portion, called Callidromus, it comes close to the sea, leaving only a narrow passage known as the famous pass of Thermopylae (q.v.). There was also a high pass to the west of Callidromus leading over into the upper Cephissus valley. In
mythology
  Oeta is chiefly celebrated as the
scene
  of the funeral pyre on which Heracles burnt himself before his
admission
  to
Olympus
 .
