| Greek mythology maintains Zeus, with the help of Hercules and Poseidon, battled many giants here and that both Apollo and Artemis were born here. Now, a plethora of votive chapels (ex-votos dealing with divine healings) pepper the Mykonian landscape. Locals build chapels as an act of devotion. Now the number of chapels in Mykonos approach 800 (actually roughly one per local family). This begs the obvious question; is there a priest in each local family?
