It is believed that it was this pass about which Alexander I of Macedon sent to warn the Greek force that was attempting to block the Persian advance through the Tempe Valley. Although longer and more difficult, the Sarantaporos Pass would enable the Persians to outflank and bypass the Greeks at Tempe.
