Delphi

The Theatre, overlooking the third and final Temple of Apollo.  Built to seat 5000 people at the Delphic Festivals held every four years.  Organized by a group of Sacred Scribes,  the Sacred Drama depicted the battle between Apollo and Python.  Music competitions and poetry were also part of  the programme.

On a slope at the highest point of the ancient city is the Stadium.  A U shaped 178m track with starting blocks at the Eastern end.  The 12 tier seating for 7000 people  was a gift from the Roman Herodes Atticus some 7 centuries after the original Stadium was built.  The Pythian Games were held every 4 years in honour of Apollo's victory over Python.

Starting blocks, also added in Roman times

Marble head of Antinoos.  Favourite of Hadrian 11 and renowned for his beauty.   He met a sad and untimely end but fortunately not before his beauty was captured for posterity.
