  • Apollo appears in Delphi.

    The Homeric Hymn to Apollo tells of the god’s taking of a Delphic seat and of a serpent slain there. The poem is a Greek foundation-story, not Pausanias’s later walk, though they share a slope.

  • Athena is connected to Delphi.

    Athena is not Delphi’s owner; Apollo is. The two cults share a Greek world without sharing a priesthood.
