The Oracle of Delphi - Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece - Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Описание: On their journey to the Temple of Apollo, pilgrims walked this sacred path up Mount Parnassos. The summer sun beat down hot on their backs. Along the way, they took in the magnificent monuments, treasuries, and statues that adorned the road. These landmarks were tokens of people's reverence of the Oracle's benevolence. All were dedicated to Apollo, and most were offered by cities to commemorate military victories. The monuments represented not only their donors' piety, but also their power and wealth. The sanctity of Delphi has endured to the present day, and visitors still take this very same route. One of the largest contributors of information on Delphi is the French School at Athens, an institute that has been researching the site since 1860. Its work has led to a very deep understanding of Delphi and its evolution over time. One of their main challenges early on was that the iconic site laid under meters of sediment – sediment located in the very much-inhabited village of Kastri. Through the school's efforts, 1000 villagers were completely relocated. With the village emptied, a railway was built to help remove excavated materials, allowing researchers to rediscover the sacred site.
