Detailed itinerary

The most famous oracle of ancient times was founded at the foothills of Mt Parnassos, at the "Navel (Omphalos) of the Earth", where the two eagles of Zeus encountered. There Apollo, the god of light, delivered his oracles through his priestess, Pythia. The Greeks addressed Apollo in every important moment of their history; they showed their gratitude by erecting great monuments along the Sacred Way heading to the god's temple. The Christians seized the operation of the sanctuary in the 4th c. AD.

The treasure was erected by Athens in the late 6th/early 5th c. BC. It is associated with the establishment of democracy in the city, as well as with the victory against the Persians at Marathon. Inside the building military trophies and votive offerings were kept.

The edifice was erected in 380 BC in the sanctuary of the goddess Athena Pronaia and likely housed a chthonic cult (of the underworld). It is regarded as one of the finest samples of ancient Greek architecture, combining its three orders: the Doric, the Ionic and the Corinthian. It was built by the architect Theodoros from Phokaia in Minor Asia or Phokis, who also wrote a book on it.
