[2] On the way from Delphi to the summit of Parnassus, about sixty stadium-lengths distant from Delphi, there is a bronze image. The ascent to the Corycian cave is easier for an active walker than it is for mules or horses. I mentioned a little earlier in my narrative that this cave was named after a nymph called Corycia, and of all the caves I have ever seen, this seemed to me the best worth seeing.
