Prestige in Greek Sanctuaries
Delphi
This chapter first looks at the ways in which scholarship has characterized and approached the study of prestige in architecture. Next, it sets out a series of key issues for its continuing study, which seeks to improve further one's grasp on the complexities of the ways in which prestige was articulated, experienced, and perceived through architecture in Greek sanctuaries. These issues are illustrated by short examples, mostly from the sanctuary of Delphi. The chapter then explores how the issues raised may help in understanding the particular examples in more depth, and also the wider changes in approach to prestige in architecture in Greek sanctuaries through the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. It discusses the issues that are divided into those pertaining to a particular structure, those to do with the interpretation of the structure in its spatial setting, and those to do with how the structure is experienced by multiple kinds of viewers over time.
