Dion or Dio (Ancient Greek: Δίον, Greek: Δίο, Latin: Dium) is a village and a former municipality in the Pieria regional unit, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform, it is part of the municipality Dio-Olympos, of which it is a municipal unit. It is best known for its archaeological site and the Archaeological Museum of Dion. Zeus was honored at the ancient city of Dion located at the foot of Mount Olympus. It is located 15 km. SW of Katerini, 425 km to the north of Athens and 65 km to the north of Larissa.
The village owes its name to the important sanctuary dedicated to Zeus (Dias, "of Zeus"), leader of the gods who dwelt on Mount Olympus; as recorded by Hesiod's Catalogue of Women, Thyia, daughter of Deucalion, bore Zeus two sons, Magnes and Makednos, eponym of Macedonians, who dwelt here in Pieria at the foot of Mount Olympus. The ruins of the ancient city lie within the modern city's boundaries.
The first mention of Dion in history comes from Thucydides, who reports that it was the first city reached by the Spartan general Brasidas after crossing from Thessaly into Macedon on his way through the realm of his ally Perdiccas II during his expedition against the Athenian colonies of Thrace in 424 BC. According to Diodorus Siculus, it was Archelaus I who, at the end of the 5th century BC, gave the city and its sanctuary their subsequent importance by instituting a nine-day festival that included athletic and dramatic competitions in honor of Zeus and the Muses.
Yeaa oooh oooh
Here we are ..?
Had a thing so perfect
I was scared
I wanted to find something wrong
So i put you through it
And i made excuses
Tried to turn you away
I knew i was wrong
Cus when you went away
Something so strong
I didn't know until you were gone (oooh i didn't know)
Whisper sweet nothings in my ear
Tell me all the things that i long to hear (baby u gotta whisper)
Whisper sweet nothing in my ear
Let me know that you feel the way i do
Hearing your voice it took me back to the way it should be
Passions so strong it feels like i'm losing my mind
You gotta please forgive me
Yes so i tripped completely
What can you do
When love gets hold of you
Cus when you went away something so strong
And i didn't know until you were gone (ooh i didn't know)
Whisper sweet nothings in my ear
Tell me all the things that i long to hear (baby u gotta whisper)
Whisper sweet nothing in my ear
Let me know that you feel the way i do
Whoa whooa whooa whoa whooa
Oh babe i knew i was wrong

Baby you need to understand
These feelings so strong
Right by your side is where i belong
Ooh i'm on my way home
Whisper sweet nothings in my ear
Tell me all the things that i long to hear (baby u gotta whisper)
Baby you gotta whisper sweet nothings in my ear
