	The Parnassus by RAFFAELLO Sanzio
		The third composition for the Stanza della Segnatura represents Parnassus, the dwelling place of Apollo and the Muses and the home of poetry, according to classical myth.
		Mount Parnassus, the home of Apollo, is, like the hill of the Vatican, a place where in ancient times there was a shrine to Apollo dedicated to the arts.
		Although the Parnassus lacks the high originality of the School of Athens, it demonstrates Raphael's illustrative ability.

	Delphic Oracle
		Mount Parnassus rises in a long arc from the Gulf of Corinth above a valley whose sides held the groves, caves, and ravines sacred to the gods of ancient Greece.
		Parnassus itself was sacred to Apollo, god of the fine arts, and the muses, the nine daughters of Zeus.
		Above and away from the shrine of Delphi is a grove that is difficult to reach, at the end of an ancient cobblestone trail called the Kalki Skala, or "evil stairway." Nearby are two pinnacles from which those convicted of sacrilege against the gods were thrown to their deaths.
