Editing Mount Parnassus (section)

==Geology and geography==
Parnassus is one of the largest mountainous regions of Mainland Greece and one of the highest Greek mountains. It spreads over three municipalities, namely [[Boeotia]], [[Phthiotis]] and [[Phocis]], where its largest part lies. Its altitude is 2,457 meters (8,061 feet), and its highest peak is Liakouras. To the northwest, it is connected to [[Mount Giona]] and to the south to Kirphe.

The mountain is delimited to the east by the valley of the Boeotian Kephissus and to the west by the valley of [[Amfissa]]. An unusual geological feature of Parnassus is its rich deposits of [[bauxite]], which has led to their systematic mining since the end of the 1930s, resulting in ecological damage to part of the mountain.<ref name="racot">Racot, A., 1967,"Les Parnassiens, introduction and commentaries by M.
