Delphi

The Pan-Greek Holy Land is a complex structure outside the politics of the city-state, the only way to provide self-knowledge to all Greeks in a religious sense, and the motto "know yourself" is said to be engraved on the entrance to the temple of Apollo. Apollo worship gained a high reputation between the mid-8th and mid-7th centuries BC as patron of the then-fierce colonial cause. In 373 BC, an earthquake severely damaged the Holy Land's buildings and played a decisive role in its fate. It was during the second half of the fourth century that the Holy Land was gradually declining as Greece experienced political turmoil, and since Roman rule in the first century AD no new buildings have emerged. In 392, Roman Emperor Theodosius I issued a decree banning paganism, marking the end of the Apollo cult. The site of the Holy Land was occupied by a village in early AD and rediscovered in the 15th century. The operation of the shrine has undergone many changes in history, according to Prutak, one of the most authoritative witnesses, who was once a priest of the temple, and there was only one female prophet in the temple during his time (1st century AD), who was asked once a month; Earlier, the ritual was in full swing, requiring three priestesses to take turns to cope with the long line of requests. In another temple in Apollo, the oracle was only passed on through thought to the prophet's spirit, which made him/her likely to play more freely. In Christian times, Chrysostom believed that Pitia was a woman possessed by the devil, drilling into the prophecy woman from the depths of the strata beneath the tripod. Every year, when Apollo leaves, there is naturally no shrine, which causes countless believers to wait when the shrine reopens every year. So the priests of the temple have the right to arrange priority for the ceremony (Προμαντεία / promanteia). Participants first offered a proper gift to God, then the priest poured cold water on a goat, and if it did not shudder, it would not be considered an ominous sign; If the worshiper is accepted, the goat will be offered, and he can enter the temple to ask the female prophet a question, of course, whether the question is answered depends on God's will.

Delph is a small town, but it is the site of the famous World Heritage Site of Apollo and the Temple of Athena. Because in ancient Greece, Delphi is an important "Pan Greek Holy Land". The chance of meeting Chinese people here is very small.

I took the bus at 10:30 and ran back to the mountain. The empty mountain really only smelled the birds, and I opened my mouth like I was going to commit a crime! Not a sun rain. It should be possible to sunset! But so I was able to pick up the rainbow and happily let the cemetery go straight down! Wait until tomorrow and then slowly walk!

Located in south-central Greece, it takes about 4 hours to drive from Karambaka to Delphi. In addition to the famous Apollo temple, there are monuments such as the Temple of the Goddess of Athens, the theater, and the stadium.

Ancient "world center," the mysterious place of ancient Greece - the ancient town of Delphi, about two hours' drive from Athens, once considered the center of the ancient world and still the mysterious place of Greece. In 1987, the ancient town of Delphi was listed in the World Heritage List, where the cliff-top Goodlphi site is the most popular among tourists and has been continuously visited since its development. I have to say the ancient Greek civilization I also heard from locals that the ancient town of Delphi was the spiritual civilization center of the ancient world, and for the Greek gods, Delphi is undoubtedly the most important temple among the many Greek holy places. The ancient Greeks believed that Apollo was a god of knowledge, music, light and beauty, and that the Temple of Delphi was dedicated to Apollo. Here I can deeply feel the greatness of Apollo, as if I were one of the people of the time, and I have full respect for Apollo. A glimpse of the ancient town of Delphi has several attractions in this ancient town. My itinerary is focused on the Apollo Temple and the Delphi Archaeological Museum. Next, I will briefly tell you how I feel: the Apollo Temple - this temple was built in 330 BC. There are dozens of immediate columns, but the wind and frost that are now long, leaving only seven columns of different lengths. Walking through these fragments, I can see the center of the temple and a Z-shaped holy road along the hillside, which makes me feel sacred and solemn. Delphi Archaeological Museum: The design of the Delphi Archaeological Museum is responsible for the famous architect Patro Klaus, and the whole museum is built on the hill. My first impression is that it is "steady and restrained" and the surrounding environment is very good.
