Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The history of the famous Valley of the Muses on the eastern slopes of Mount Helicon began in the 6th century B.C. Its greatest period began from the 3rd century B.C. onwards because of the "Mouseia", festivals (Grk ) established and organised every fifth year by the Thespians. Poets and musicians from all over Greece participated in various games. In the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C., games in honor of the Roman emperor were added, and from that time he sponsored the whole organisation. The festivals were then called "Great Kaisareia" (Grk ) because the emperor was honored over the Muses. The winners dedicated their tripods to a sanctuary. Many statues depicting the Muses, famous poets, and musicians stood in the open-air space of the Valley.
