This article discusses the evolution and main characteristics of Delphi’s statuary landscape, focussing on the process of prestige spatialisation via erection of honorific portraits within the Delphic territory. My goal is to present trends and tendencies in placing honorific portraits at Delphi from the mid-fifth centuryb.c.to the late fourth centurya.d.The article focusses on issues surrounding the locations for honorific statues and how these featured in attempts to monopolise the sanctuary’s overall lay-out throughout by vying for the most conspicuous places at Delphi. I argue that the placement of honorific statues within the Delphictemenoswas not random but was in fact a precisely planned process which was influenced by several (variable) factors. These factors included the availability of space, the visibility of the monuments, and the number of visitors that could be expected. The relationship between Delphi and the League of the Aetolians is particularly stressed in association with the question regarding the nature of the Aetolian self-representation at Delphi. I contrast Delphi with Thermos to assess the degree to which the Aetolians dominated the sanctuary and how they presented themselves to both internal and external audiences.

空间和记忆的力量：德尔福的荣誉雕像

本文讨论了德尔斐雕像景观的演变和主要特征，重点关注通过在德尔斐领土内竖立敬意肖像来实现声望空间化的过程。我的目标是展示从 5 世纪中叶在德尔福放置敬意肖像的趋势和趋势公元前到四世纪末广告这篇文章重点讨论了关于尊崇雕像位置的问题，以及这些雕像如何通过争夺德尔福最显眼的地方来垄断圣殿的整体布局。我认为在德尔斐内放置敬意的雕像提梅诺斯不是随机的，而是实际上是一个受多个（可变）因素影响的精确计划过程。这些因素包括空间的可用性、纪念碑的能见度以及预期的游客数量。德尔福与埃托利亚联盟之间的关系特别强调了与德尔福埃托利亚自我表现的性质有关的问题。我将德尔福与 Thermos 进行对比，以评估埃托利亚人在多大程度上主宰了圣所，以及他们如何向内部和外部观众展示自己。
