Sandels Delphi and its oracle was one of the most sacred places in the ancient world. Situated in the breathtaking surroundings
by the mythical Mt. Parnassus, where Pan and the nymphs lived, it is still an enchanting site. Here, the ancient (and some
modern) Greeks believed the canter of the world was and here, the future of kings and commonmen was foretold.

History The Museum
Mythology General plan Getting there
OverviewAlthough Delphi had been dedicated to many deities
before him, Gaea, Themis and Phoebe, Apollo is the god most connected to the place. According to mythology, Apollo killed
the monster Python who guarded the site and built the first temple here. He then went away to purify himself from the deed,
and the Pythean games were held every eight years to commemorate the event. Later, they were held every four years and were
mainly musical competitions.The winner was crowned with a wreath of laurel, since the Laurel was Apollos special tree.
Delphi
had been defined as the canter of the earth by Zeus, who one day let his two eagles fly around the earth and where they met
- the center, Delphi, lay. A stone was put at the point called Omphalos - the Navel - an can still be seen in the museum of
Delphi.
Another myth also tells us that it was here the human kind got a second chance. Zeus was sick and tired of
humanity, its thievery, lies and treachery, and decided to drown them all in a flood. The good man Deucalion had been warned
by his father Prometheus and had built an ark in good time. The flood drowned the earth, but Deucalion and his wife were safe
in the ark, and when the water started sinking, they landed on the top of Mt. Parnassos. Deucalion then went to the oracle
to ask what to do next, and the oracle told him to throw the earths bones behind him. He then took some stones which he interpreted
to be the bones, threw them over his shoulder, and new humans grew out of them.
Deucalion had a son with his wife,
and he was to be called Hellen ("Greek"). He, in his turn, became the father of three children. Aeolus, Dorus and Xythos,
and the grandfather of Ion and Achaios. These sons would all be the ancestors of the Greek tribes.
Heracles had also
come to Delphi, but with a wicked purpose: he wanted to steal the tripod Pythia sat on. The failed, but still a temple was
built in Heracles' honour.
Finally Dionysus also had to do with Delphi. He ruled here in Apollos place during the
three months the latter was away in the north. Then chaos ruled here, with enraged women, the maenads, tearing wild animals
to pieces and everyone in a constant state of drunkenness.Getting There Delphi can be reached by road. Many travel agencies
in Athens offer daytrips to the site, but you can also get here on your own. There are several hotels in the area if you want
to stay."Though killed I killed the killer; but even so he didn't go to Hades, it was I who died"

is mentioned by Homer, who calls it Pytho. There is evidence that there was a cult here in the Mycenaean period.
A
temple toApollo stood here in the 8th century BC, if not before. In the 7th century BC the area was already quite full of
buildings and statues. In the 6th century BC a big sphinx was made out of marble from Naxos and put here, as well as treasure
houses for Athens, Sicyon and Knidos.
It was also now that Delphi had been liberated from the Krisan state, and thus
became autonomous. The games and the sanctuary was from then on organised and controlled by the 12 citystates that had formed
the Amphictyonic League.
In 528 a terrible fire destroyed the old temple of Apollo. Almost all Greek citystates helped
to rebuild it, and in 505 a magnificent new temple stood here.
In the following century the Sifnian treasure house
was built, and after the battle of Marathon Athens also built a new one.
In 373BC an earthquake destroyed much of
Delphi, including the Apollo temple. Soon, s new collection began among the city states, and in 329BC it was finished. Here,
the famous inscriptions "Know yourself", "Keep the measure" and "E" were made. Pythia sat here and told the future through
an incomprehensible mumble that was then interpreted by the priests.
This is also where the omphalos, the navelstone,
stood as well as Dionysus' tomb.
The theatre was built, but it was during the next century that it was rebuilt of
stone by Eumenes II of Pergamon so that the audience would actually have seats, and not just sat on the slopes. It could hold
5000 spectators.
In AD390 the oracle was shut down by emperor Theodosius.
1892 French archaeologists started excavating
the are, after the ancient village Kastri, that was built on top of it, had been moved.
The Oracle
At first,
the oracle could only be consulted once a year, but as its reputation grew more and more pilgrims came, and more days were
added to the agenda. During the three months that Apollo was believed to be away, the oracle was silent.
After going through
purification rituals and paying a certain tax, the pilgrim that would be allowed to consult the oracle could ask his question
to Pythia.
Pythia was a woman from the village Delphi, and in most cases she was a young virgin. We do not know exactly
in what state of mind she was, but she was probably under the influence of some sort of narcotic substance. Tradition holds
that fumes were coming out of a crack in the ground, but no such crack has been found.
After Pythia had spoken, the priests
interpreted her words to the pilgrim. The answers were always vague, and in this way the oracle was almost always right. This
gave the priests great political power, and their credibility was discussed even in ancient times. It is said that the fablewriter
Aesop had called them the "parasites of Apollo" and for this the priests killed him.
