Abstrakt
The article addresses the problem of the reconstruction and interpretation of the so-called First Sacred War in Archaic Greece. The problem is significant due to the ambiguity and fragmentary nature of literary sources and their later reinterpretation. The aim of the work is to determine the causes of the conflict and the motivations of its participants. The author applies critical analysis of written sources and archaeological data. The most important results indicate that the war resulted from a convergence of political and economic interests of Thessaly, Sicyon, and Athens, which sought to take control of the sanctuary at Delphi. The conflict, presented in tradition as religious, in fact had a pragmatic character connected with territorial and economic rivalry. The analysis also shows that later tradition, especially in the time of Philip II, used the events of this war for propaganda purposes. The conclusion is to recognize the First Sacred War as a genuine historical event whose interpretation was distorted by later accounts.
