LYKORIA (Ancient city) PARNASSOS
They say that the oldest city was founded here by Parnassus, a son
of Cleodora, a nymph. Like the other heroes, as they are called, he had two fathers;
one they say was the god Poseidon, the human father being Cleopompus. After this
Parnassus were named, they say, both the mountain and also the Parnassian glen.
Augury from flying birds was, it is said, a discovery of Parnassus. Now this city,
so the story goes on, was flooded by the rains that fell in the time of Deucalion.
Such of the inhabitants as were able to escape the storm were led by the howls
of wolves to safety on the top of Parnassus, being led on their way by these beasts,
and on this account they called the city that they founded Lycoreia (Mountainwolf-city).
