Mount Parnassus (/pɑːrˈnæsəs/; Greek: Παρνασσός, Parnassos) 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. According to Greek mythology, 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. There is a theory that Parna- derived from the same root as the word in Luwian meaning House.
Parnassus is one of the largest mountainous regions of Mainland Greece and one of the highest Greek mountains. It spreads over three municipalities, namely of Boeotia, Phthiotis and Phocis, where lies its largest part. Its altitude is 2,547 meters and its highest peak is Liakouras. To the Northeast it is connected to Giona and to the south with Kirphe. Its name is due to the homonymous hero of the Greek mythology, son of Cleopompus (or Poseidon) and Cleodora, who had built on the mountain a city which was destroyed in the Deluge of Deukalion. Etymological analysis, however, shows a prehellenic origin of the name and alludes to the Pelasgians. The mountain is delimited to the east by the valley of the Boeotian Kephissus and to the West by the valley of Amfissa. The geological particularity of Parnassus is its rich deposits of bauxite, which has led to their systematic mining since the end of the 1930s, resulting in ecological damage to part of the mountain.
Parnassos (Greek: Παρνασσός) is a former municipality in Phocis, Greece, named after Mount Parnassus. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Delphi, of which it is a municipal unit. Population 2,668 (2001). The seat of the municipality was in Polydrosos.
The Parnassos Literary Society (Greek: Φιλολογικός Σύλλογος Παρνασσός) was founded in 1865 in Athens and has published various magazines. The oldest literary society in mainland Greece, it continues to be active today.
The Society was founded on 24 June 1865 by the four children of the numismatist Pavlos Lambros to contribute to the spiritual, social, and moral improvement of the Greek people through its events. Its first president was Michael Lambros. The club quickly became well-known, and functioned as a sort of Academy with literary, archaeological, legal, artistic and even scientific sections. It organized lectures, exhibitions, and various competitions. In 1872, at the suggestion of S. Vassiliadis, it opened a night school for destitute children. The historian Constantine Paparrigopoulos became honorary chairman.
It was officially recognized as a nonprofit organization by the Greek state on March 17, 1875.
The club is now housed in a private mansion on the St. George Square designed by Ifikratis Kokkidis (Ιφικράτης Κοκκίδης). The club has a valuable library and art gallery with 250 works by Greek artists.
Open you eyes
say what you say and I'll listen
For a while
Where is your smile
The one that reminds me to whisper
Like a child
How can we stay strong
How hope is gone
Give you a reason
You can believe in
Help you to be the best you can
Give you a feeling
The love that I'm needing
to make you a better man
Will it be there the taste that reminds me
I missed you
All this time
You know I still care
I'm walking around in a circle like I'm blind
Oh it's bean so long, but I'm holding on
Give you a reason
You can believe in
Help you to be the best you can
Give you a feeling
The love that I'm needing
