The god was worshipped here alongside his mother Leto and his sister Artemis. At the heart of the site stands the Temple of Apollo, the most important monument of the sanctuary and the center of religious life in ancient Delphi. Inside the temple, the famous oracle Pythia delivered her prophecies, believed to be inspired by vapours rising from a sacred chasm beneath the site.

About Athene

Athene zet de Akropolis boven een uitgestrekte moderne hoofdstad, waar antieke ruïnes, steegjes op de heuvel en lange tavernaavonden naast elkaar bestaan.

De Parthenon kroont de Akropolis, geflankeerd door het Erechtheion met zijn portiek van cariatiden, en het Akropolismuseum aan de voet van de heuvel toont beeldhouwwerk dat op de rots is gevonden. Daaromheen maken de Antieke Agora, de Tempel van Olympische Zeus, de Boog van Hadrianus en het marmeren Panathinaiko-stadion de klassieke stad gemakkelijk te belopen.
