Pimpleia (Ancient Greek: Πίμπλεια) was a city in Pieria in Ancient Greece, located near Dion and ancient Leivithra at Mount Olympus.[1] Pimpleia is described as a "κώμη" ("quarter, suburb") of Dion by Strabo.[2] The location of Pimpleia is possibly to be identified with the modern village of Agia Paraskevi near Litochoron.[3]
It was renowned as the birthplace and early abode of Orpheus.[4][5][6] Many springs and memorials dedicated to Orpheus and Orphic cults.[7] Cults of the Muses were also celebrated,[8] under the epithet Pimpleids (Πιμπληίδες).[9]
