The Delphic Amphictyony was an ancient Greek religious association of tribes that aimed to protect the sanctuary of Delphi and its oracle, the Oracle of Delphi. Established in the 6th century BCE, it included representatives from various Greek states, who gathered to oversee the management of the sanctuary and organize the Pythian Games. Members of the Amphictyony contributed to the upkeep of the temple and resolved disputes related to the sanctuary. They also held meetings to discuss matters of common interest, including warfare and alliances, reflecting the cooperative spirit among the participating tribes in ancient Greece.
