[edit] Pyrene
- Smuggling was of such importance that a local tale tells that the mountain was covered by gold until evil men came to take it away. They burned the trees on the mountain to reach the gold, but the metal melted and flowed away.
Isn't it a Greek legend of Pyrene, that the mounts take their name of fire ("pyros") burning them to melt the gold. If so, the story is much older than smuggling.
