Greek mythology
Mount Ida, the current mount Psiloritis (in modern Greek Ψηλωρείτης "monte alto"), stands in the Amari Valley, in the center of the Greek island of Crete. It is the highest peak on the island, with a height of 2456 meters (8,057 feet).
(243) Ida is related with elements that fix attention on a single point or direction (3:4 resonance with Vesta), such as for example a lighthouse on the coast or traffic lights in a cross street, the reflectors of a bike or the green light of an electronic device when it is on.
