It is situate beneath a precipice one hundred 
feet in height, upon the top of which a chasm 
in the rock separates it into two pointed crags ; 
and these, towering above Delphi, and being a 
part of Parnassus, have been sometimes con- 
sidered and erroneously described as the tops 
of the mountain, which has therefore been said 
to have a double summit\ There is nothing 
(1) Biceps Paunassus. Wheler calls it "the double-headed Cleft of 
Parnassus.^' These two tops, seen from Delphi, conceal all the rest of 
the mountain. Between them the water falling in great abundance, after 
rain or snow, hath worn the chasm which separates them. Sec JFheler's 
Journ. into Greece, p. 314. Loud, 16S2.
