📖 About Delphi

Delphi was the holiest site in ancient Greece — home of the famous Oracle, to whom kings and citizens flocked to seek the counsel of the god Apollo. A UNESCO World Heritage Site on the slope of Mount Parnassus, in breathtaking mountain scenery. The Greeks believed Delphi was the navel of the world. The site preserves the Temple of Apollo, the ancient theater, the stadium, and the city treasuries. The Castalian Spring still flows. The museum displays the bronze Charioteer and the Sphinx of Naxos. Delphi is about 2.5 hours from Athens, visitable as a day trip or staying in the nearby village. The visit takes 2-3 hours and involves climbing.

📚 From the encyclopedia

The Temple of Apollo, also known as Apollonion, (Greek: Ἀπολλώνιον, romanized: Apollṓnion) was a major part of the Panhellenic religious sanctuary located in Central Greece at Delphi. The temple and sanctuary at large were dedicated to one of the major Greek deities, Apollo, the god of archery, music, light, prophecy, the arts, and healing. There have been several temples built at Delphi throughout the history of the site, though the visible ruins seen in modernity are those of the temple built in the 4th century B.C.E. before its destruction under the orders of Theodosius I in 390 C.E. During antiquity, the temple was home to the famous Greek prophetess the Pythia, or the Oracle of Delphi, making the Temple of Apollo and the sanctuary at Delphi a major Panhellenic religious site as early as the 8th century B.C.E., and a place of great importance at many different periods of ancient Greek history. References to Delphi, the sanctuary, the temple, and the prophecies of the Pythia are made throughout ancient Greek mythology and historical accounts from the periods of its use.
