International Delphic Council : ウィキペディア英語版 | International Delphic Council
The International Delphic Council (IDC) is a charitable, non-governmental organization (NGO), headquartered in Berlin, Germany. It claims to be the highest authority for all matters regarding the Delphic Games of the modern era,〔(The International Delphic Council (IDC) )〕 although there is a similar but separate organization, International Delphic Committee, headquartered in Russia. == Historical reference == The Delphic Games of the modern era were inspired by the ancient Greece traditional Pythian Games of Delphi as a symbol for peace. The original Games were between artists and ethnic cultural groups. They took place each year preceding to the Olympic Games. The historic Pythian Games in Delphi can be traced as far back as 2,600 years ago. The spiritual leaders formed the Pan-Hellenic to perform wonders, theatre, music, and poetry to praise the god Apollo of wonderful light, the symbol of the Oracle of Delphi. The Pythian Games were one of the four Panhellenic Games, a forerunner of the modern Olympic Games, held every four years at the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi.〔(Pythian Games ), ''Encyclopædia Britannica''〕 After the revival of the Olympic Games, art competitions were held from 1912 to 1948 at the initiative of Pierre de Coubertin. Competitions in various forms of art were thematically related exclusively to the sport. Also in the first half of the 20th century, there was a move to revive the Pythian Games at Delphi, at the initiative by the Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos. In 1927, the Delphic Festival was held for the first time, but the revival was then abandoned due to the cost of organizing it. Delphic Festivals are held in the summer in Delphi, focused largely on tourists.〔(Information about the Festivals of Delphi Greece )〕
