There's a Way.” In Gilbert and Sullivan's 1884 opera Princess Ida, ladies who are interested in reading Classics are said to want to "climb the Helicon". German author Eduard Mörike poem entitled "Antike Poesie" refers to Mount Helicon. The title of Bryan Aldiss's 1982 novel Helliconia Spring may be an oblique reference to the Heliconian springs and their sacredness to the Muses that inspire literature.
