Not only I don't see a fault but neither Dionysos. In this image is sighted Pentelikon Mt., the peak called Pyrgari on the left and the peak called Mpyrza on the background on the left. In the picture can be seen quarries in the marble of Pentelikon which are overlain by another metamorphic system of rock which consists of greenschists and gneiss. If you have any fault plane in a picture that justifies the title of this one, please share it with us...

Thank you for your comment. Well, I was told that the village/settlement there is called Dionysos (or Dionissos) as it is named on the GE map. There is a fault situated not exactly at the base of the mountains but along the slope, trending NNW-SSE. If you zoom out the GE map you'll see an almost linear structure S of Dionysos formed by the fault. There is no fault scarp easily to be seen in the field, but you can see the fault gauge if you climb up the mountain.

Thank you for you instant response Gruetze. Indeed the buildings in the picture belong to the settlement. However, the naming of the fault was confusing because Dionysos is called and the cliff form where you took the photo while in the photo is presented Pentelikon Mt(or Penteli Mt). In point of the fault, do you refer to the scarp at the top left of the picture, over the quarry, which seems to me that trends NNE-SSW?

As far as I remember the fault should be located behind the last houses in the picture at the slope, parallel to the uppermost line of houses. If you would set two points through the fault the first one was N38°05'41.10" / E23°52'22.00" and the second one N38°05'17.80" / E23°53'35.51". And I have to apologize - I meant NW-SE. I am not sure whether the scarp you mentioned is what I mean, I haven't been there since two years. Could be. However, I am sure about one point where to find the fault trace, but not a scarp: N38°05'21.20 / E23°53'28.95". It's on that small dirt road that goes up the hill. Greetings from Germany,

The coordinates you have provided, were very informative. The relief of the area shows that a fault with the orientation you've already mentioned possibly could be there. However, the foliations that I've collected from that area testify an anticline with similar orientation but that doesn't exclude the existence of a fault. On the other hand I haven't founded in the field a fault trace that would convince me that it would be responsible for the formation of such a relief. Perhaps I might have missed it. Nevertheless, your observations are very interesting and I'm glad we talked about it. Greetings from Greece.
