L' tude du temple d'Apollon du IVe si cle Delphes est le fruit d'une collaboration entre l'arch ologue Pierre Amandry et l'architecte Erik Hansen. Les circonstances n'ont pas permis qu'elle about t un texte commun. Aussi a-t-on pris le parti de reproduire les articles que Pierre Amandry a consacr s au monument et de les faire suivre de l' tude architecturale de Erik Hansen. Le but principal de cette derni re est de d crire la construction du temple pour ainsi dire pierre pierre, en suivant les proc d s des artisans, et de donner l'image la plus fid le possible de l'affairement d'un chantier dans l'Antiquit . En l'occurrence, on a la chance unique de disposer aussi bien de la ruine du b timent que des fragments des comptes qui ont t dress s lors de sa construction et qui donnent une id e de l'organisation du chantier, de son volution et de son co t. Les deux sources se compl tent mutuellement et permettent d' tablir le calendrier d'une construction qui s'est tal e sur trente-quatre ann es, de 367 333 av. J.-C., avec une interruption de dix ann es due la troisi me guerre sacr e , entre 356 et 346 av. J.-C. Un changement d'architecte en 340, Agath n succ dant X nodoros, n'est apparemment pas sans rapport avec une modification introduite dans le projet d'am nagement de l'int rieur du temple, l m me o si geait le fameux oracle de Delphes.
The study of the fourth century BC temple of Apollon at Delphi is the outcome of a collaboration between the archaeologist Pierre Amandry and the architect Erik Hansen. Circumstances did not permit the creation of a common text. It has therefore been decided that the articles by Pierre Amandry on the monument should be reprinted, followed by the architectural study by Erik Hansen. The main goal of the latter is to describe the temple stone by stone, by mapping the procedures of the artisans, and to give the most faithful image possible of the activities on a building site in Antiquity. As it happens, we are fortunate to possess not only the ruins of the building itself, but also fragments of the construction accounts drawn up during the work, which provide an idea of the organisation of the building site, its evolution and the costs involved. The two sources are complementary and permit establishing the construction calendar which stretches over a period of 34 years, from 367 to 333 BC, with a ten-year interruption due to the third 'sacred war' between 356 and 346 BC. A change of architect in 340, Agathon succeeding Xenodoros, appears to be connected with a reorganisation of the interior space in the area occupied by the famous oracle of Delphi.
