In April, Fox News named the 10 most sacred spots on earth, including in the top 10 Delphi and Mount Parnassus. As it is mentioned on the channel’s webpage, these places have been assigned of religious and spiritual significance and have played a key role in the culture of the people.
For Parnassus, the channel says that it dominates Greek mythology as in addition to being sacred to the god Apollo, who often visited the nearby Oracle at Delphi, the mountain was thought to be the residence of the Muses and, as a result, the home of poetry and song.
