DELPHI & STEREA ELLADA
Greek mythology and history seem to mingle in the rugged and scenic landscape of
Sterea Ellada (Στερεά Ελλάδα). On the slopes of Mt Parnassos sits Delphi, regarded by
the ancient Greeks as the centre of the world. The land stretches east to Attica, where le-
gendary King Oedipus met his fate, and west to Messolongi, where British bard Lord
Byron died of fever during the Greek War of Independence. The region acquired its
name, meaning Mainland Greece, in 1827, as part of the newly formed Greece.
