Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Parnassos: a mountain at Delphi. The adjective for the mountain is 'Parnassios'; the feminine is 'Parnassia' or 'Parnassias', from the form 'Parnassios' (as in 'Helikonias'), and the neuter is 'Parnassion'. There is also 'Parnassis', derived from the form 'Parnassos', as 'Teumessis' is from 'Teumessos', and 'Parnasseus'. The possessive adjective is 'Parnassiakos'. It used to be called Larnassos because Deukalion’s ark was carried there. Some say that Parnassos took its name after Parnassos, who was also the first to give oracles at Pytho, as per Alexandrides in book 1 of his On the Oracle at Delphi.
