The Grosser Mythen (also ''Grosse Mythe'') is a mountain in the Schwyzer Voralpen of Central Switzerland. The mountain lies in the canton of Schwyz, to the east of the town of Schwyz, and to the south of the village of Alpthal in the valley of the Alp river. It is accessible from the Holzegg Pass by a hiking trail which is opened during the summer months only. Geologically the Mythen is a penninic Klippe. The name is pronounced (); it is in origin the plural referring to the Grosser and Kleiner Mythen collectively, each of which had the name ''Mythe'' (feminine) in the singular. The name is unrelated to the now-homographic German word for "myth"; Weibel (1973) derives it from Latin ''meta'' "cone, pyramid". Until the late 19th century, the name of the mountain was still feminine, ''die Grosse Mythe''; after c. 1870, the masculine gender became increasingly common in written German although dialectically the feminine remains current.〔Viktor Weibel, 'Namenkunde des Landes Schwyz. Die Orts- und Flurnamen in ihrer historischen Schichtung und dialektologischen Relevanz'. In: ''Studia Linguistica Alemannica'' vol. 1, Frauenfeld, 1973. Use of ''y'' for () in Swiss toponyms is widespread (as e.g. in ''Schwyz'' itself) and arises with a ligature ''ij'' as used 15th-century handwriting. 〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grosser Mythen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
