Here's from our old friend, Wikipedia...do they need a correction?
Interpretations of Parmenides
The traditional interpretation of Parmenides' work is that he argued that the 
every-day perception of reality of the physical world (as described in doxa) is 
mistaken, and that the reality of the world is 'One Being' (as described in 
aletheia): an unchanging, ungenerated, indestructible whole. Under 'way of 
seeming', Parmenides set out a contrasting but more conventional view of the 
world, thereby becoming an early exponent of the duality of appearance and 
reality. For him and his pupils the phenomena of movement and change are simply 
appearances of a static, eternal reality.

  Beth, the duality of appearance is not the Parmenides Proof.
