Introduction
Mount Parnassus is a limestone massif rising in central Greece between the Gulf of Corinth and Thessaly, reaching 2,457 metres. In Greek myth it was the sacred mountain of Apollo and the Muses and the backdrop to the Delphic oracle. Pine forests and alpine meadows cloak its slopes; in winter it becomes a ski resort, while summer draws hikers and stargazers. Mist often shrouds its peaks, lending the mountain a solemn, otherworldly air.
