The eastern slopes of Mount Helicon have been witnesses to the history of the Valley of the Muses, the site of an ancient Greek sanctuary where, since the 3rd century B.C., the Thespians would organize the Mouseia festivals in honor of the nine Muses every five years.
The valley is located in Thespies, Boeotia, which belongs in modern Central Greece and the earliest known records of the Nine Muses are from Boeotia, the homeland of Hesiod.
