ΠΙΝΔΟΣ (Οροσειρά) ΕΛΛΑΔΑ
Lacmon (Lakmon, Hecat. Fr. 70; Herod. ix. 92; Steph. B. s. v.) or
Lacmus (Lakmos, Strab. vi. p. 271, vii. p. 316), the highest summit of Mount Pindus,
the Zygos or ridge of Metzovo. This is geographically the most remarkable mountain
in Greece; situated in the heart of Pindus as to its breadth, and centrally also
in the longitudinal chain which pervades the continent from N. to S.: it gives
rise to five principal rivers, in fact to all the great streams of Northern Greece
except the Spercheius ; north-eastward to the Haliacmon, south-eastward to the
Peneius, southward to the Achelous, south-westward to the Arachthus, and north-westward
to the Aous. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. i. pp. 294, 411-415, vol. iv. pp. 240,
261, 276.)
