Δελφοί - ο "ομφαλός της Γης" _ Delphi - "The navel of the World"

Δελφοί...Ο 'Ομφαλός της Γης', αρχαία ελληνική πόλη στην οποία λειτούργησε το σημαντικότερο μαντείο του αρχαιοελληνικού κόσμου. Η πόλη αναφέρεται από τους ομηρικούς χρόνους με την ονομασία Πυθώ. Στην αρχή των ιστορικών χρόνων ήταν μία από τις πόλεις της αρχαίας Φωκίδας, αλλά σταδιακά ο ρόλος της πόλης ενισχύθηκε και εξελίχθηκε σε πανελλήνιο κέντρο και ιερή πόλη των αρχαίων Ελλήνων. Αποτέλεσε επίσης κέντρο της Δελφικής Αμφικτυονίας. Οι Δελφοί διατήρησαν τη σημαντική τους θέση μέχρι τα τέλη του 4ου αιώνα μ.Χ., οπότε δόθηκε οριστικό τέλος στη λειτουργία του μαντείου με διάταγμα του αυτοκράτορα Θεοδοσίου Α΄. Τους επόμενους αιώνες η πόλη παρήκμασε και εγκαταλείφθηκε οριστικά την περίοδο των σλαβικών επιδρομών. Delphi, in legend previously called Pytho (Πυθώ), in ancient times was a sacred precinct that served as the seat of Pythia, the major oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The oracle was international in character and also fostered sentiments of Greek nationality, even though the nation of Greece was centuries away from realization. The ancient Greeks considered the centre of the world to be in Delphi, marked by the stone monument known as the omphalos (navel). The sacred precinct was in the region of Phocis, but its management had been taken away from the Phocians, who were trying to extort money from its visitors, and had been placed in the hands of an amphictyony, or committee of persons chosen mainly from Central Greece. The sacred precinct occupies a delineated region on the south-western slope of Mount Parnassus. It is now an extensive archaeological site, certainly as international as the ancient Greeks had intended it to be. Adjacent to the sacred precinct is a small modern town of the same name. The precinct is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in having had a great influence in the ancient world, as evidenced by the various monuments built there by most of the important ancient Greek city-states, demonstrating their fundamental Hellenic unity. It would be impossible to remove the influence of the Delphic oracle from the written history of the times. It was destroyed finally by the Christian emperors, who wished to militate against the pagan gods. WIKIPEDIA Song: Blue Nights Artist: Juan Sánchez Artist’s Website: https://juansanchezmusic.info/
