Valley of the Muses
The Valley of the Muses was the site of an ancient Greek sanctuary to the Muses and the ''Mouseia'' festivals held in their honor. It is an open-air historical site open permanently to the public. It is located at Thespies on the eastern slopes of Mount Helicon in Boeotia, Greece.
==History==
The recorded history of the valley began in the 6th century BC. Its greatest period started in the 3rd century BC with the establishment of the ''Mouseia'' festivals (Grk ''Μουσεῖα''), organised every fifth year by the Thespians. Poets and musicians from all over Greece participated in various games. In the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, games in honor of the Roman emperor were added. From that time the emperors sponsored the festivals, which were then called "Great Kaisareia" (Grk ''Μεγάλα Καισάρεια'') because the emperor was honored over the Muses. Winners of the games dedicated their tripods to a sanctuary. Many statues depicting the Muses, famous poets, and musicians stood in the open-air space of the Valley. With the rise of monotheism, the festivals and the valley were abandoned.
