Taygetos is the highest mountain of the mountain range (the range is also named Taygetos), its peak is known as "Profitis Ilias", or "Prophet Elias" (Elijah).
The name is one of the oldest recorded in Europe, appearing in the Odyssey. In classical mythology, it was associated to the nymph Taygete and it was named after her. During Byzantine times and up until the 19th century, the mountain was also known as Pentadaktylos (Πενταδάκτυλος; Greek for five-fingered, a common name during that period).
