Parnassus Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

1/7 The image was shot in early 2001 during my retreat in mount Parnassus. Mount Parnassus is a mountain of limestone in central Greece that towers above Delphi, north of the Gulf of Corinth, and offers scenic views of the surrounding olive groves and countryside. This mountain was sacred to Dionysus and the Dionysian mysteries; it was also sacred to Apollo and the Corycian nymphs, and it was the home of the Muses. The mountain was also favored by the Dorians. It is suggested that the name derives from parnassas, the possessive adjective of the Luwian word parna meaning house, or specifically temple, so the name effectively means the mountain of the house of the God. Throughout history, Parnassus was the fortification of the Greek tribes of south Greece, against invaders from the north, with the greatest occurrence the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. against the Persian forces. http://onparnassos.gr/en/parnassos-mountain The image was taken on my last day, and it is a view of the mountain area taken from Tithorea village. http://onparnassos.gr/en/location/upper-tithorea -------------------------------------------- Your fine art print will be produced to the highest standards, proofed, checked and packed rolled in a tube sent by courier.
