This place was the original home of a bronze column on which a boastful Pausanius tried to claim sole credit for victory at Plataea (“pluh-TAY-uh”). A Herodotus passage helped identify two kourai (“KOO-rye”) from this place as Kleobis and Biton. A marble sphinx at this site is inscribed with a declaration that gives the right of promanteia to the people of Naxos. A statue of a man holding reins is the so-called (*) “Charioteer of [this place].” The Siphnian Treasury and Athenian Treasury were built to house votive offerings at this place, which names a set of hymns by Athenaeus and Limenius. An omphalos stone at this place marked it as the “navel of the world.” Fumes from a fissure at this place caused the Pythia to go into trances. For 10 points, name this site on Mount Parnassus, home to an oracle of Apollo. ■END■
