Delphi - Delphi, once known as Pytho, is renowned for its ancient sanctuary, which became wealthy as the home of Pythia, the oracle consulted for significant decisions in the classical world. The Greeks regarded Delphi as the navel or center of the world, symbolized by the Omphalos of Delphi.
Delphi archaeological site: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Delphi is among Greece’s most significant archaeological locations. Over time, the oracle’s functions expanded to include athletic games, cultural events, and notably the Pythian games. The Temple of Apollo, the Ancient Theater, the Stadium, the Athenian Treasury, the Gymnasium, and the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia are all mesmerizing. - Delphi Archaeological Museum - Frieze of the Treasury of Sifnias
Naxian Sphinx: Dating back to 560 BC, this is one of the earliest artistic depictions of the demonic creature with a lion’s body, bird’s wings, and a woman’s head.
Metopes of the Athenian Treasury: From the 5th century BC, these depict scenes such as Theseus and Antiope, Theseus and the Minotaur, Theseus and the Marathonian bull, Heracles and the cattle of Geryon battling the three-bodied giant Geryon, Heracles subduing a Centaur & Cycnus, Heracles & the Nemean lion, and an Amazonomachy scene.
Omphalos: Representing the center of the earth, it was kept in Apollo’s temple.
Kleobis and Biton: Two brothers from Argos, typical kouroi from the 7th century BC.
Statue of Antinoos: Depicts the youth celebrated for his beauty and as Emperor Hadrian’s favorite, revered as a god. This statue is considered one of the finest examples of the neoclassical style revived in the 2nd century AD.
The famous Charioteer Iniohos: Part of a statuary complex featuring a chariot drawn by four horses and included a second male figure.
