Antre corycien in Delphi Municipality

You're standing at the Corycian Cave, high on the southern slopes of Mount Parnassus, north of Delphi. You're about 1,250 metres above sea level here. Take a look around. Below you lies the plateau where people once farmed. Above you rise the wild, rocky peaks. To the ancient Greeks, this cave sat right on the line between civilisation and wilderness.
