英语词汇parnassus的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	parnassus
词源	Parnassus; to climb Parnassus. The 8,000-foot-high Greek mountain Parnassos, called Parnassus by the Romans, had one of its summits consecrated to Apollo, the god of music, and thus the mountain near Delphi became associated with poetry and music in particular, and literature in general; all literary effort was connected with Parnassus—some in the foothills, some at the summit. To climb Parnassus means “to write poetry.”
