Sphinx of Naxos.

Dear Commons Community,

During our visit to the Oracle of Delphi, Elaine and I went to the Delphi Archaeological Museum (Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Δελφών), founded in 1903.  Its collection is made up of artifacts from the Oracle site.  Organized in fourteen rooms on two levels, the museum mainly displays statues, including the famous Sphinx of Naxos and the Charioteer of Delphi.

Below are images from the Museum’s collection.
