Abstract

This article focuses on relations between Phokians and Athenians and in particular on two aspects neglected by previous research : the ways in which stories about the relations were (re-)constructed over time and the role that those relations between the Athenians and the (other) members of the Delphic Amphiktyony played with regard to them. The analysis starts from a number of sources which demonstrate the historicity of the friendship between Phokians and Athenians, also in relation to the Delphic Amphiktyony ; this is followed by the examination of further evidence which reveals the continuous processes of shaping the stories about this friendship, the intentional elements underlying these processes and the tendency to project it (sometimes unduly) into the past. On the Athenian side, this tendency cannot be separated from relations with the Delphic Amphiktyony.
