大多数人认为德尔福圣殿是著名神谕的所在地,奥林匹亚圣殿是奥林匹克运动会的举办地。然而,甲骨文和奥运会只是这两个网站正在进行的众多活动中的两个。这本书调查了两个圣所的实体遗迹,展示了在古代和古典时期,不同的游客如何以不同的方式与德尔斐和奥林匹亚的神圣空间互动。它强调了这种流体的使用如何影响保护区空间的发展,以及这种使用如何影响这两个地点在更广阔的景观中的位置和关系。因此,它主张重新评估德尔菲和奥林匹亚在希腊世界中的作用,并重新思考“泛希腊主义”一词在希腊政治、宗教和文化中的作用。
Delphi and Olympia: The Spatial Politics of Panhellenism in the Archaic and Classical Periods
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.
