	Taygetus
		Taygetus or Taygetos (Greek: Ταΰγετος), also Taigetos is a mountain range of the Peloponnesus, Southern Greece, extending about 65 mi (100 km) north from the southern end of Cape Matapan in the Mani Peninsula.
		The central part of the mountain range is commonly called Skoteini Plevra which means the dark side because the villages that are in the Taygetus don't receive as much sunshine especially in the morning and the pre-dusk hours.
		A documentary broadcasted by ERT is about the Taygetus and it begins by GR-82 and up to several villages and finally into the grasslands and up to the snowy mountain.

	Messenia - LoveToKnow 1911
		Meaa nni or Meo x via), the S.W. district of the Peloponnese, bounded on the E. by Mt Taygetus, on the N. by the river Neda and the Arcadian Mountains, on the S. and W. by the sea.
		In the Homeric poems eastern Messenia is represented as under the rule of Menelaus of Sparta, while the western coast is under the Neleids of Pylos, but after Menelaus's death the Messenian frontier was pushed eastwards as far as Taygetus.
		A body of Dorians under Cresphontes invaded the country from Arcadia, and, taking as their capital Stenyclarus in the northern plain, extended first their suzerainty and then their rule over the whole district.
