Templo de Apolo - Delfos - Grecia
Las ruinas del Templo de Apolo en Delfos, que se remontan al siglo IV a. C., pertenecen a un templo dórico periptero. Fue edificado sobre los restos de un templo anterior, fechado en el siglo VI a. C., que a su vez fue erigido en el emplazamiento de otro del siglo VII a. C. Su construcción se atribuye a los arquitectos Trofonio y Agamedes.
En el siglo VI a. C. era conocido como el «Templo de los Alcmeónidas», en tributo a la familia ateniense que financió su reconstrucción después de un incendio que destruyó su estructura original. [El templo fue destruido tras la invasión persa del 487 a. C ]
El nuevo edificio fue un templo de estilo dórico hexástilo de 6 x 15 columnas. Fue destruido en el año 373 a. C. Las esculturas del frontón son atribuidas a Praxias y Andróstenes, atenienses. De una proporción similar, en el segundo templo se mantuvo el patrón 6 x 15 columnas en el estilobato.1 Dentro estaba el ádyton, el centro del oráculo de Delfos y el asiento de la Pitia. El monumento fue restaurado en parte en 1938.
Sobrevivió hasta el 390, año en el que el emperador cristiano, Teodosio I, silenció el oráculo con la destrucción del templo y la mayor.

Temple of Apollo - Delphi - Greece
The Temple of Apollo, god of music, harmony, light, healing, and oracles occupied the most important and prominent position in the Delphic Panhellenic Sanctuary. The edifice with the partially restored colonnade visible today dates to the 4th century BC; it is the third temple built at the same place. The famous oracle, the Pythia, operated inside the temple, the location chosen, according to one tradition, due to a sacred chasm beneath the site emitting vapors, which were inhaled by the Pythia. Some ancient writers state that the Pythia then entered a state of delirium and uttering inarticulate cries, which were then turned into equivocal oracles by the priests.[1] This interpretation is controversial, and has been challenged by scholars such as Joseph Fontenrose and Lisa Maurizio, who argue that the ancient sources uniformly represent the Pythia speaking intelligibly, and giving prophecies in her own voice.
The Sphinx of the Naxians (560 BCE) was located next to the Temple of Apollo.
The history of the temple was related by Pausanias in his Description of Greece of the 2nd century CE:
They say that the most ancient temple of Apollo was made of laurel, the branches of which were brought from the laurel in Temple. This temple must have had the form of a hut. The Delphians say that the second temple was made by bees from bees-wax and feathers, and that it was sent to the Hyperboreans by Apollo.
Another story is current, that the temple was set up by a Delphian, whose name was Pteras, and so the temple received its name from the builder… The story that the temple was built of the fern (pteris) that grows on the mountains, by interweaving fresh stalks of it, I do not accept at all.
It is no wonder that the third temple was made of bronze, seeing that Acrisios made a bedchamber of bronze for his daughter, the Lacedaemonians still possess a sanctuary of Athena of the Bronze House, and the Roman forum, a marvel for its size and style, possesses a roof of bronze. So it would not be unlikely that a temple of bronze was made for Apollo…
The fourth temple was made by Trophonius and Agamedes; the tradition is that it was made of stone. It was burnt down in the archonship of Erxicleides at Athens, in the first year of the fifty-eighth Olympiad (548/47), when Diognetus of Crotona was victorious. The modern temple was built for the god by the Amphictyons from the sacred treasures, and the architect was one Spintharus of Corinth.
