Description

A view of the eastern cliff of the Phaedriades, historically called Hyampeia and today called Phleboukos. This cliff was used by the ancient Delphians to cast down those condemned with sacrilege. By analyzing the angle of the photo, it must have been taken near the Castilian Spring, in the ravine dividing the twin peaks of the Phaedriades.
