The history of Delphi is lost in
the prehistory and myths of ancient Greeks. The earliest finds in the area date
back to 4000 BC. from Korykeon Andro
a cave of the region where the first beliefs were held.
The Ancient Greeks in Delphi honored the god Apollo and the goddess Athena
and
believed that Delphi was the navel of the earth. It was the most famous oracle of ancient Greece where according
to mythology the two eagles sent by Zeus from the edges of the universe met to
find the center of the world and met over its place. From the 6th to the 4th
century the oracle experienced its greatest prosperity. Pythia was the Jerusalem of the Temple of Apollo and gave the
oracles and their priests interpreted them. Many people rulers of that era and
even entire cities came to its oracle. The power of the oracle however created
two holy wars of the time. The flowering of the most famous oracle lasted until
the second century AD. With the prevalence of Christianity the oracle was
neglected and in the 7th century AD was filled. The excavations to return to
the surface began in 1890 and found important finds for the ancient public life
of that time.
During your tour of Delphi you will have the chance to see the Kastalia Fountain the source which
washed those who wanted to visit Pythia to receive its oracle, the Dome of Athena Pronaia and the Treasure of the Athenians, the Temple of Apollo the most important
