A lecture on Delphi, the so-called "Navel of the Earth," the meeting point of the two eagles that Zeus sent from the edges of the universe, will take place at the Athens Concert Hall or Megaron, on December 3.

The director of the French Archaeological School in Athens Alexandre Farnoux and the head of the 10th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities, Athanasia Psalti, will address the event.

Professor Farnoux in his speech titled The great excavation at Delphi: a cultural, scientific and diplomatic adventure will refer to the important Delphi excavation, a site that was initially discovered by travelers and then by the French School archaeologists.

Referring to the history of the excavation -its scientific, diplomatic, political adventure- he will also talk about the numerous inscriptions, the majestic monuments that shed a new light on the ancient historical texts and the discovery of the Sanctuary of Apollo, which like the Delphic Festivals was extremely influential for the whole of Europe in Europe.
