HELICON PRODUCTIONS
"Helicon is the sacred mountain of Apollo and the Muses, where they dance together with Artemis, the Charites and the Horae. Here also are the springs Hippocrene and Termessus, where the Muses bathe. The poet Hesiod used to pasture his sheep on the slopes of Helicon, and one day the Muses came to him there and gave him an olive bough and with it, the gift of song."
- from the Concise encyclopedia of Greek and Roman Mythology by Sabine G. Oswalt (1965 Collins Sons & Co. Glasgow)
