Parnon or Malevo is a mountain ridge on the east of the Laconian plain. Height 1934m (6362 feet). It is visible from Athens above the top of the Argive mountains.

Parnon is described by Pausanias:

Above the villages extends Mount Parnon, on which the Lacedaemonian border meets the borders of the Argives and Tegeatae. On the borders stand stone figures of Hermes, from which the name of the place is derived. A river called Tanaus, which is the only one descending from Mount Parnon, flows through the Argive territory and empties itself into the Gulf of Thyrea.
