Most people think about the sanctuary of Delphi as the seat of the
famous oracle and of Olympia as the site of the Olympic games. The
oracle and the games, however, were but two of the many activities
ongoing at both sites. This book investigates the physical remains
of both sanctuaries to show how different visitors interacted with
the sacred spaces of Delphi and Olympia in an important variety of
ways during the archaic and classical periods. It highlights how
this fluid usage impacted upon, and was itself affected by, the
development of the sanctuary space and how such usage influenced
the place and relationship of these two sites in the wider
landscape. As a result, it argues for the re-evaluation of the
roles of Delphi and Olympia in the Greek world and for a
re-thinking of the usefulness of the term 'panhellenism' in Greek
politics, religion and culture.
