The Pythian Games are not as well known as the Olympic Games but
were nonetheless important over a period of more than a thousand
years of Greek and Roman history (c.580 BC to AD 395). In this
study Robert Weir examines the rise and significance of this
festival of athletics, horsemanship, music and drama held at or
near the Delphic temple every four years. The chapters assess the
nature of the games and those taking part, its administration and
financing, the experience of the visitor, and asks why individuals
took part and why people chose to attend the games. Weir argues
that, contrary to theories of decline, religious aspects of the
games in particular ensured its continued relevance throughout the
Roman period although some changes were necessary in line with the
demands of the emperor and imperial ideology. The final chapters
look at this imperial intervention and at festivals outside Delphi
and the spread of its influence.
