EDITORS COMMENTS
Parnassos Oros, or Mount Parnassus, located near the ancient city of Delphi in Greece, has been a source of inspiration and reverence for centuries. This breathtaking photograph, taken in 1850, captures the majestic beauty of the mountain range, with its two distinct peaks. The peak on the left, sacred to Apollo, was believed to be the residence of the god and the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts. The Muses, known for their association with poetry, music, and dance, were often depicted holding various musical instruments and poet's tools. The peak on the right, however, was dedicated to Bacchus, the god of wine, fertility, and revelry. The association of poets with wine and ale can be traced back to this mythological connection. The mountain's dual nature, with its peaks representing the divine realms of both Apollo and Bacchus, has made Parnassos Oros a symbol of creativity, inspiration, and the harmonious blend of the intellectual and the sensual. The photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when the connection between the natural world and the divine was deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness. The image of the mountain, bathed in the soft light of the sun, invites us to reflect on the enduring power of nature to inspire and uplift the human spirit.
