Folklore and traditions
Among the people Hymettus is called Trellos or Trelovouni ("Mad Mountain"). The Greek Wikipedia notes that the name probably comes from the French expression très long, "very long", used by foreign visitors.
“The Sun rose from Trellos and set at Dafni.”
Light songs have had Hymettus as their theme, such as “Up there on Hymettus there is some secret”.
