3. The history of the Delphic sanctuary, the location of the most well-known ancient Greek oracle, is on display at the Archaeological Museum of Delphi, one of the most significant in Greece. The majority of the sanctuary's extensive collections are made up of architectural sculptures, statues, and small items. The well-known Charioteer was part of a complex of statues that featured a chariot pulled by four horses and another male figure. One of the earliest depictions in art of the demonic creature with a lion's body, bird's wings, and a woman's head can be found in the Sphinx of the Naxians, which dates to 560 BC.

4. In the eighth century the cult of Apollo finally triumphed, and the development of the sanctuary and the oracle began. The temples of Apollo and Athena, were built near the end of the 7th century and were known as "Pronea." Athena was given the name Pronea because her sanctuary was one of the first to appear as one ascends from Delphi to Phocis. It is one of Delphi's oldest structures.

About Athen

Athen rejser Akropolis over en vidtstrakt moderne hovedstad, hvor antikke ruiner, stræder i skråningerne og lange taverna-aftener ligger side om side.

Parthenon kroner Akropolis, flankeret af Erechtheion med sin veranda af karyatider, og Akropolismuseet ved bakkens fod viser skulpturer fundet på klippen. Rundt omkring gør Den Antikke Agora, Olympieion, Hadrians Port og det marmorklædte Panathinaiko-stadion den klassiske by let at gå gennem.
