Triparadeisos

Triparadeisos or Triparadisus (Greek: Τριπαράδεισος) was a Greek settlement in Syria near the sources of the Orontes.

It was the place where the Treaty of Triparadisus occurred, in which Alexander the Great's Empire was divided between his generals in 321 BC. It has been suggested that it was at the site of modern Baalbek.[1]
