Olympos was a musician from ancient Greece. He belongs to the mythical genealogy of Mysian and Phrygian aulos flute players. Olympos frequently appears on works of art, as a boy, sometimes instructed by Marsyas, and sometimes as witnessing and lamenting his teacher’s fate.

In Heracleidae, a play by Euripides, Macaria is the daughter of Heracles and Deïanira. To save her siblings, Macaria offers herself as the victim for the sacrifice to Persephone.

Dans Les Héraclides, une tragédie d’Euripide, Macaria est la fille d’Héraclès et de Déjanire. Pour sauver ses frères et sœurs, Macaria se laisse sacrifier à Perséphone.
