Figures

Associated figures

Gods and people named with this place — as its founders, or in their own records.

What this means

Founders are named by this place's own record, and a founding is an attribution, often contested. The rest are read from the other end, computed from their records rather than this one. Being named with a place is not being documented there in any given year.

Within the site

Inside Delphi

14 recorded places within the site, from their own records.

What this means

A place listed here names this site as its whole or its location in its own record; the build reads that from the place’s end, so the row is computed rather than stated by the site. It does not imply that the site as a whole was a place of worship, that its parts were in use at the same time, or that these are all the places it held.

Site history & evidence

What is documented here

Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.

Evidence	On record	What it shows
Site date	None recorded	The import holds no date for the site itself.
Location	Recorded to the site On the atlas	A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent.
Dated activity	None recorded	A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at Delphi, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity.

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.
