The Treasury of the Athenians at Delphi on the lower slope of Mount Parnassus about 6 miles from the Gulf of Corinth. Once many treasuries existed at Delphi. The Treasury of the Athenians is one of these and has been rebuilt using its original blocks. It contains a famous wall inscribed with musically notated hymns to Apollo. The famous oracle of Apollo at Delphi was consulted on private matters and affairs of state. Its utterances have swayed nations.
