===Temple of Apollo===
{{main|Temple of Apollo (Delphi)}}
Ancient tradition refers to a succession of mythical temples on the site: first one built of olive branches from [[Vale of Tempe|Tempe]], then one built of beeswax and wings by bees, and thirdly one built by [[Hephaestus]] and [[Athena]]. The first archaeologically attested structure was built in the seventh century BC and is attributed in legend to the architects [[Trophonius|Trophonios]] and [[Agamedes]].<ref>{{cite book | first=C.M. | last=Bowra | title=Pindar | publisher=Oxford University Press | year=2000 | pages=373–75}}</ref> It burnt down in 548/7&nbsp;BC and the [[Alcmaeonidae|Alcmaeonids]] built a new structure which itself burnt down in the fourth century BC.

The ruins of the Temple of Apollo that are visible today date from the fourth century&nbsp;BC, and are of a [[peripteral]] [[Doric order|Doric]] building. It was erected by [[Spintharus of Corinth|Spintharus]], Xenodoros, and Agathon.<ref name="Sakoulas">{{cite web|last1=Sakoulas|first1=Thomas|title=Temple of Apollo at Delphi|url=http://ancient-greece.org/architecture/delphi-temple-of-apollo.html|website=Ancient-Greece.org|access-date=28 November 2016}}</ref>
