Hyampea

Hyampēa

(Ὑάμπεια). One of the two lofty rocks which rose perpendicularly from behind Delphi, and obtained for Parnassus the epithet of δικόρυφος, or the two-headed (Eurip. Phoen. 234; Herod.viii. 39). The other was called Nauplea. It was from these elevated crags that culprits and sacrilegious criminals were hurled. See Parnassus.
