Aigaleo or Egaleo (Greek: Αιγάλεω), and known in antiquity as Poikilon Oros (Ποικίλον Όρος), is a mountain in Athens, Attica, Greece. It lies west of Athens plain, southeast of Eleusis, and east of the island of Salamis. Most of the mountain is rocky (limestone). It is lower than Hymettus. Most of the forest is to its north where the Daphni Monastery is located. There is also a park in its northern reaches.

With its good view of the Straits of Salamis, Mount Egaleo was the site of Xerxes' throne from which he observed the Battle of Salamis.[1]

Towns and places that surround the mountain include Perama, Drapetsona, Nikaia, Korydallos, the highway, and Chaidari. The Athens Metro connects the area after reducing Iera Odos (Sacred Way) into two lanes in 2002–2003.

A highway linking GR-8 and Keratsini runs through this mountain range. The refineries of Skaramangas are in the north. The new bypass on the northwestern part of the range is part of the Attiki Odos superhighway system, the Aigaleo Ring (Number 65) which was opened on January, 2004 along with the rest of the superhighway northwest of the range. The ring presently does not have full access with Athinon Avenue and GR-8 yet, but includes two interchanges.

[it] Monte Egaleo

Il monte Egaleo, chiamato anche Aigaleo (in greco: Αιγάλεω, traslitterato: Aigaleō), e conosciuto nell'antichità come Poikilon Oros (Ποικίλον Όρος), è una montagna situata nell'Attica, in Grecia. Si trova ad ovest di Atene, a sud-est di Eleusi e ad est dell'isola di Salamina. La maggior parte della montagna è composta da calcare. Rispetto all'Imetto è meno estesa. La maggior parte della foresta si trova a nord, dove si trova il monastero di Daphni. C'è anche un parco nelle sue estensioni settentrionali. Durante la Battaglia di Salamina nel settembre del 480 a.C., il re persiano Serse si fece costruire sul Monte Egaleo un colossale trono per poter assistere dall'alto a quella che riteneva sarebbe stata una schiacciante vittoria.
