Excerpt from An "at Home" On Mount Parnassus: A Pageant Play The Prologue Mythology tells us that Athene, the Goddess Of Wisdom, and the nine Muses were wont to hold symposiums from time to time in their abode on Mount Parnassus. To these learned debates were summoned those of mortal kind who had attained fame through the arts inspired by the Muses. If poetry were the subject of discussion, the great poets were bidden; if music, the inspired musicians; if science, the renowned scientists.
