Βουνό της Φωκίδας, που αναφέρεται από τον Ομηρο (Οδ. τ 432).
Ο Αυτόλυκος, ήταν γιος του Ερμή, πατέρας της Αντίκλειας από την Αμφιθέα (Οδ. τ 416) και παππούς του Οδυσσέα (Ιλ. Κ 267, Οδ. τ 394 κ.ε.).
Ο Παυσανίας παραδίδει ότι είχε παντρευτεί τη Νεαίρα, κόρη του Περέα, από το όρος Κυλλήνη (Παυσ. 8,4,6).
Autolycus, (Autolukos). Son of Hermes and Chione, or (according
to another account) Philonis; father of Anticlea, the mother of Odysseus. In Greek
mythology he figured as the prince of thieves. From his father he inherited the
gift of making himself and all his stolen goods invisible, or changing them so
as to preclude the possibility of recognition. He was an accomplished wrestler,
and was said to have given Heracles instruction.
Sinopians themselves referred the foundation of their city to Autolycus, a companion of Heracles, and one of the Argonauts, to whom they paid heroic honours (Strab. l. c.) (see http://www.gtp.gr/AncientSinope )
Autolycus (Autolukos). A son of Hermes or Daedalion by Chione, Philonis, or Telauge. (Apollod. i. 9.16; Hygin. Fab. 201; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 804.) He was the husband of Neaera (Paus. viii. 4.3), or according to Homer (Od. xix. 394), of Amphithea, by whom he became the father of Anticleia, the mother of Odysseus and Aesimus. He had his residence on mount Parnassus, and was renowned among men for his cunning and oaths. (Comp. Hygin. l. c.; Ov. Met. xi. 311.) Once when he came to Ithaca as a guest, the nurse placed his newly-born grandson Odysseus on his knees, and he gave the child the name Odysseus. Afterwards, when Odysseus was staying with him, he was wounded by a boar during the chase on Parnassus, and it was by the scar of this wound that Odysseus was subsequently recognized by his aged nurse, when he returned from Troy (Paus. x. 8.4; Ov. Met. xi. 295, & c.; Hygin. Fab. 200). Polymede, the mother of Jason, was, according to Apollodorus, a daughter of this Autolycus, and the same writer (ii. 4.9) not only describes him as the teacher of Heracles in the art of wrestling, but mentions him among the Argonauts; the latter of which statements arose undoubtedly from a confusion of this Autolycus with the Thessalian of the same name. Autolycus is very famous in ancient story as a successful robber, who had even the power of metamorphosing both the stolen goods and himself. (Hom. Il. x. 267; Hygin. Fab. 201 ; Apollod. ii. 6.2; Strab. ix; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 408; Serv. ad Aen. ii. 79.)

Πατέρας του ήρωα Αυτόλυκου (Παυσ. 8,4,6).
Chione, a daughter of Daedalion, who was beloved by Apollo and I ermes on account of her beauty. She gave birth to twins, Autolycus and Philammon, the former a son of Hermes and the latter of Apollo. She was killed by Artemis for having found fault with the beauty of that goddess, and her father in his grief threw himself from a rock of Parnassus, but in falling he was changed by Apollo into a hawk. Chione is also called Philonis. (Ov. Met. xi. 300, &c.; Hygin. Fab. 200)
Κόρη του Δευκαλίωνα, μητέρα του Αεθλίου (Παυσ. 5,1,3).
Protogeneia. A daughter of Deucalion and Pyrrha. (Apollod. i. 7.2) She was married to Locrus, but had no children ; Zeus, however, who carried her off, became by her, on mount Maenalus in Arcadia, the father of Opus. (Schol. ad Pind. Ol. ix. 8.5; Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod. iv. 1780) According to others she was not the mother, but a daughter of Opus. (Schol. ad Pind. l. c.) Endymion also is called a son of Protogeneia. (Conon, Narrat. 14.)

ΒΔ το ρέμα Σενό που περνά μέσα από τη Γραβιά, Δ ο αρχαίος ποταμός Υλαιθος (σήμερα ρέμα Σκίτσα), ΝΔ ο κάμπος της Αμφισσας, Ν από τον Ξεροπόταμο και το Φαράγγι των στενών του Ζεμενού όπου διέρχεται το ρέμμα Χαροκόπου, Α η πεδιάδα της Κωπαϊδας, Β η κοιλάδα του Κηφισού.
(Parnassos). A name applied (1) to a range of mountains extending
from Oeta and Corax southeast through Doris and Phocis, and terminating at the
Corinthian Gulf between Cirrha and Anticyra where it was called Cirphis (Kirphis);
and
(2) to the highest part of the range a little north of Delphi,
where it attains an elevation of some 8000 English feet. Its twin peaks are called
Tithorea (Tithorea) and Lycorea (Lukoreia). Here the mountain forms a crescent-shaped
curve of cliffs, known as Phaidriades or "the resplendent," since they
face south and receive the full rays of the sun during the heat of the day. On
the southern slope of Parnassus lay Delphi. The modern name is Liakoura.
On the sides of Parnassus were many caves, romantic grottoes,
and ravines, and it was regarded as a principal abode of Apollo and the Muses.
On Mount Lycorea was the Corycian cave of the latter, and just above Delphi lay
the famous Castalian spring flowing from between the two cliffs known as Nauplia
and Hyamplia. Between Parnassus proper and Mount Cirphis was the valley of the
Plistus, with the sacred road which ran from Delphi to Daulis and Stiris. At the
branch of this road where the two ways parted, Oedipus slew his father Laius.
