Theatre, Music and Athletic Games: ” Ολύμπια εν Δίω ” (Olympia in Dion)
The Games last for nine (9) days and take place in the second half of September. Each day is dedicated to each of the nine Pierian Muses who according to Greek Mythology were the patron goddesses of Knowledge, Literature, Arts and Sciences. They were: Calliope, Euterpe, Clio, Erato, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, Urania.
The event is a revival of the ancient games which were held on the same place, the sacred city of the Macedonians, under the same title; “Olympia in Dion”.
In the Ancient Theatre of Dion the great tragic poet Euripides wrote and presented five of his plays and his last masterpiece “Bacchae”. According to ancient writers, Euripides died and was buried in Pieria. On his tombstone Athenians engraved the following epigram:
” Χαίρε μελαμπετάλοις, Ευριπίδη, εν γυάλοισι Πιερίας τον αεί νυκτός έχων θάλαμον…ως αν λάτρις πιερίδων ναίης αγχόθι Πιερίδων”.
«Χαίρε Ευριπίδη που έχεις το θάλαμο της αιώνιας νύχτας (Τάφο) στα μελανόχρωμα ακρογυάλια της Πιερίας…Εσύ που λάτρεψες τις Πιερίδες (Μούσες) κατοικείς κοντά τους.
