Delphi, Greece: Spectacular Ancient Site
More info about travel to Delphi: Ancient Delphi, perched high on the slopes of Mt. Parnassos, was not a city. It was the site of the oracle of Apollo, god of the sun. People would journey here from all over the known world to seek wisdom from the gods on vital affairs of state. Tourists today zig-zag up the ancient Sacred Way to the Temple of Apollo. The path is flanked by the remains of Delphi's famous treasuries — monuments erected by city-states in gratitude for the oracle's advice.

The archaeological site of Delphi is one of the most important one in Greece, second only to the Acropolis of Athens. The magnitude of the Delphi contributions to the entire ancient civilization cannot be overstated.
Many political decisions were taken after consultation of the Oracle, and no colony was founded around the Mediterranean without the consent of the sanctuary at Delphi. In proportion with its immense influence, the settlement at delphi grew from a small village to a imposing depository of fine Architecture and Art.
At the Delphi sanctuary excavations have unearthed settlements that date as far back as the Neolithic era. However evidence of the site's importance dates back to the Mycenaean period (1600-1100 B.C). Most of the ruins that survive today are witness to the site's pinnacle which was reached in the 6th c. B.C., and are testament to the diverse cultural influences that hovered over the sanctuary for a nearly a millennium.
The functions of the Oracle of Delphi grew over the centuries to include athletic games and cultural events and Delphic festivals, the most important of which was the Pythian Games which were held every four years in memory of Apollo's slaying of the Python Dragon. To accommodate the gratitude that each city/state was eager to express, and all the cultural affairs, the sanctuary evolved to include major temple complexes, a theater, a stadium, and a number of ornate treasuries.
Some of the most prominent edifices on the sacred slopes of Delphi are the temple of Apollo, the ancient theater, the stadium, the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia with the Tholos, the Kastalia spring, and the various treasuries that adorn the sacred way. The archaeological museum on the site contains many important ancient Greek artifacts from the excavations at Delphi.
Le site archéologique de Delphes est l'un des plus important en Grèce, en second lieu seulement à l'Acropole d'Athènes. L'ampleur des contributions Delphi à l'ensemble de la civilisation antique ne peut être surestimée.
De nombreuses décisions politiques ont été prises après consultation de l'oracle, et aucune colonie a été fondée autour de la Méditerranée sans le consentement du sanctuaire de Delphes. En proportion avec son immense influence, le règlement à delphi est passé d'un petit village à un dépositaire imposant l'amende Architecture et Art.
Au sanctuaire de Delphes fouilles ont mis au jour des colonies qui datent d'aussi loin que l'ère néolithique. Cependant la preuve de l'importance du site remonte à l'époque mycénienne (1600-1100 av. J.-C. de). La plupart des ruines qui survivent aujourd'hui sont témoins de l'apogée du site qui a été atteint dans le 6ème c. Av, et témoignent des influences culturelles diverses qui planaient sur le sanctuaire pour près d'un millénaire.
Les fonctions de l'oracle de Delphes a augmenté au cours des siècles pour inclure des jeux de sport et d'événements culturels et festivals Delphic, le plus important était les Jeux Pythiques qui ont eu lieu tous les quatre ans en mémoire du meurtre d'Apollon du Dragon Python. Pour répondre à la reconnaissance que chaque ville / état était désireux d'exprimer, et toutes les affaires culturelles, le sanctuaire a évolué pour inclure les grands complexes de temple, un théâtre, un stade, et un certain nombre de trésors ornés.
Certains des édifices les plus importants sur les pentes sacrées de Delphi sont le temple d'Apollon, le théâtre antique, le stade, le sanctuaire d'Athéna Pronaia avec le Tholos, le ressort Kastalia, et les différents trésors qui ornent la voie sacrée. Le musée archéologique sur le site contient de nombreux objets anciens grecs importants provenant des fouilles de Delphes.

Archaeological Museum of Delphi
The Archaeological Museum of Delphi that is operated by the Greek Ministry of Culture was founded in 1903. It houses one of the most valuable collections of Greek art with artifacts from the excavations of the sanctuary of Delphi.
You can see a model of ancient Delphi with its structures of the Temple of Apollo, Treasuries, the Theater and other buildings. From a sign at Delphi, the “Treasuries were small, temple-shaped buildings dedicated by the Greek city-states and their colonies at sanctuaries. They often housed precious votives of the city that had dedicated them.” From the wall of one of the Treasuries is a “hymn” that tells the story of Apollo. Our Guide told us that it was first played in 1896 before the opening ceremony of the first modern Olympic Games. Elsewhere a letter written in stone, dated 52 AD, from the Emperor Claudius that references Lucius Junius Gallio, who was the proconsul of Achaia at the time of the Apostle Paul's stay in Corinth and, Acts 18:12-17 confirms Gallio as proconsul when Paul was brought before the tribunal in Corinth. Therefore, it dates the time that the Apostle Paul was in Corinth.
There are statues of a charioteer (chariot driver) and there are the twin brothers, the kouroi of Delphi, known as Cleobis and Biton that were created at Argos between 610 and 580 BC. (Kouros is defined as an archaic Greek statue of a young man standing, and often naked.)
There is also a silver statue of a bull.
There is a large three-legged chair, a tripod, and the Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi, is depicted in art as sitting on a tripod.
One room displays the Sphinx of Naxos which is an enormous statue which once was on top of a large column near the Temple of Apollo. There are also the friezes of the Siphnian Treasury that depict various scenes such as those related to the Trojan War.
From a sign in the outdoor sanctuary area at Delphi, it describes the “Navel”: “The sacred omphalos of Delphi, believed to have fallen from the heavens was shaped like a conical stone devoid of shaping.” “According to mythological tradition, Zeus released two golden eagles in different directions. At the point where the two god-sent birds met, Zeus threw down a stone that landed in Delphi.” In the museum it is in relief that represents the woolen net that would have been wrapped around the sacred object. And it is believed that the omphalos/navel would have been atop the nearby “dancers’ column” that is in the Museum.
There is so much to see and read about the amazing artifacts that are in the Archaeological Museum of Delphi.

Delphi museum
The Archaeological Museum of Delphi shelters the extensive artifacts unearthed during excavations at the Delphi oracle and its vicinity. It is located adjacent to the archaeological site, and it is one of the top must-see museums in Greece, mainly because of the breadth and quality of artifacts it includes. The permanent exhibition covers over a thousand years, from the Mycenaean era to the Greco-Roman times.
The SANCTUARY of Athena, Delphi, Greece
This sacred precinct at Delphi was dedicated either to Athena Pronoia (Athena of Foresight) or Athena Pronaia (Athena before the Temple). The former epithet seems to echo the function of the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi, while the latter could refer to the sanctuary's position below (and on the way to) the great Temple of Apollo.
This site has been revered since Mycenaean times (c.15th century BC. Clay figurines of women and fine sculptures from this period can be admired in the Delphi Museum.
The first Temple of Athena was built here in the 7th century BC and rebuilt at the beginning of the 5th century BC. In the early 4th century BC (c.360 BC), the New Temple of Athena was built in another part of the precinct, along with the mysterious Tholos. The nearby gymnasium was built in this period as well.
What to See at Sanctuary of Athena
Overlooking a beautiful valley carpeted with olive trees, the sacred precinct dedicated to Athena is roughly rectangular in shape, with the entrance at the east end. Pilgrims entered the sanctuary through a monumental gateway, the huge lintel of which now lies on the ground.
Most of the sanctuary's structures have been reduced to foundations and fallen fragments, including two successive temples of Athena. The oldest part of the sanctuary is the eastern part, where the remains of a Mycenaean settlement were unearthed.
Here stood the Old Temple of Athena, built in the early 5th century BC on the foundations of a 7th-century structure. Made of tufa, it was a Doric peripteral hexastyle building. The temple was badly damaged in 480 BC by a rock slide and finished off by an earthquake in 373 BC. Another landslide in 1905 demolished all but three columns.
The central area of the sanctuary is occupied by three buildings: a Doric treasury (490-60 BC) made of marble on a limestone foundation; the fine Aeolian Treasury of Massalia (c.530) of Parian marble; and the Tholos.
The Tholos, a Pentelic marble rotunda from the early 4th century BC, is of unknown purpose and dedication but may have sheltered an important statue. The design has been attributed by some to Theodorus of Phocaia, who built the tholos at the Asclepion of Epidaurus. The Delphi tholos consists of a round platform with three steps supported a circular peristyle of 20 slender Doric columns. The interior, paved and decorated with Corinthian half-columns, was entered from the south. Three columns of the Tholos with their entablature were re-erected in 1938 and the cornice and metopes were replicated based on surviving fragments. Surrounded by a field of architectural fragments against a mountain backdrop, it is perhaps the most picturesque sight in Delphi.
The west end of the precinct is occupied by the New Temple of Athena, built around 360 BC and reduced to foundations. It was a prostyle temple with a portico of six Doric columns.

Delphi Archaeological Site - Greece
This video is about a trip to the archeological site of Delphi in Greece. We saw the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, the Tholos, Temple of Apollo, Theater and Stadium of Delphi and visited Delphi's Archeological Museum. It was part of a week-long trip to Greece where we visited the Acropolis in Athens and travelled to the Greek island of Naxos. In Naxos we also took a day trip in a catamaran. Videos about the other locations were also published in my channel.
