History
Delphi reached its height between the 6th and 4th centuries BC, when multitudes of pil-
grims came to the sanctuary to consult the oracle.
Delphi was protected by the Amphictyonic League, a federation of 12 tribal states
(that unified most of southern Greece), which took control of the sanctuary following the
First Sacred War (595-586 BC), making Delphi an autonomous state that enjoyed great
prosperity from numerous benefactors, including the kings of Lydia and Egypt, and Had-
rian.
