The famous flames are the same ones from antiquity (Homer). In the Hellenistic era, they were thought to be the evidence of Chimaera, the dragon-like son of Typhon. But the flames are interesting to me because, as you know, fire is important to my djinn.
Eternal flames are also a nice tie-in to Zoroastrianism and Mithras, and I bet the pirates thought so too. I tell you, more and more links keep popping up between my pirate friends and the djinn. However, the name for my character is still eluding me.... maybe a play on the word Chimaera is in order...

I've always loved the word "chimera" Character names are so tricky. What are you using now as a placeholder?
Treehouse hotels?!?!?!?! Seriously?! Wow. And what are these burning stones?!!? Double wow!!!!!
As I'm sneaking this comment at work - I can't watch the clip but will do when I get home!!

Real life natural eternal flame? Very cool.
love it, and now you have me singing the Bangles... :D I like the word chimera, too. I think that would be a cool start for a name~ :o) <3
It's really great that there are great places and activities to experience at Olympos.
