. Bommelaer, Pentazos, and Picard 1992: 219, 226–27. Perhaps the most crucial of de La Coste-Messelière's publications are: de La Coste-Messelière and Picard 1928; de La Coste-Messelière 1931; de La Coste-Messelière 1936; de La Coste-Messelière 1957. He was also responsible for one of the first attempts to create maps for different chronological periods of the sanctuary's life: de La Coste-Messelière 1969.

16
. Precious moments of the performance of Aeschylus's
Prometheus Unbound
from the festival survive on film: Taplin 1989: 18. This festival led in turn to the
foundation of the Greek National Theatre and to the first performances at the ancient theater of Epidaurus.

33
. As noted by Bommelaer in the 2008 edition of the French journal
BCH
, in relation to the inscriptions of the fourth century
BC
temple rebuilding, very little of our understanding of these accounts is fixed. Instead, our understanding of them is changing all the time: Bommelaer 2008: 223.

34
. In the 1996 showcase volume of the work of the French School in Athens, it is indicative of the developing interest in the town's Christian era that a section was dedicated to Delphi at the end of antiquity: Déroche 1996. There is still no published volume in the excavation reports on this time in Delphi's history, although the first
Fouilles de Delphes
volume is expected soon: Déroche, Pétridis, and Badie (forthcoming).

35
. Equally indicative is that in the same showcase volume (Etienne 1996), Delphi was not mentioned as an example in the section “The Space of the City.” This
is soon to be in part rectified with the anticipated publication of N. Kyriakidis
Delphon politeia: Etude d'une communauté politique (VI–I. siècle avant J.C.).

36
. This area has been the focus of recent work, particularly by Rousset 2002a. But we still only have a basic understanding of how the landscape around Delphi was used, perceived, and experienced. See the recent work on different aspects of this experience in Kyriakidis 2011, McInerney 2011, McInerney (forthcoming).

37
. For a recent consideration of the issues regarding display at the museum of Delphi: Partida 2009. For recent publications utilizing new digital technologies to produce three-dimensional computer graphics of the site: Bommelaer 1997. For a recent consideration of what a Christian and Byzantine tour of Delphi might look like: Dimou and Pétridis 2011.

CONCLUSION

1
. “Delphi became a bank of social capital,” McInerney 2011: 96.

2
. E.g., for modern politics: Tsoukalis and Emmanoulidis 2009.

3
. See Delphi's confirmation (quoted in the introduction to this book) as a World Heritage Site thanks to its “enduring mission to bring together men and women who otherwise remain divided by material interests.” Full text can be viewed online:

(1987 Advisory Body Evaluation)—last accessed 17.6.13. The literature on comparisons between Delphi, its Amphictyony, and modern-day international organizations like the European Union and United Nations continues to increase, despite a number of calls (including in this book) for caution over such comparisons: Tenekides 1931; Daux 1957; Tenekides 1958; Amandry 1979; Zepos 1979. “Delphi was also the centre of meetings of the Amphictyonic league (the nearest equivalent to the UN for the isolated ancient Greek city-state)”: Toubis 2007: 58–59.
