Palm Tree of Eurymedon

The palm tree next to the Tripods of the Deinomenids

The Palm Tree of Eurymedon was a palm tree made of bronze, erected within the Sanctuary of Delphi in Phokis, Greece. The monument was given to the Sanctuary by Athens to celebrate their victory over Persians at the Battle of the Eurymedon, which ended the Persian threat for a while. Sometime during the Peloponnesian War, Kassandra the Eagle-Bearer visited the monument.

Behind the scenes

The "bronze palm tree" related to the victory of Eurymedon survives only in contemporary classical Greek accounts, like those of the geographer Pausanias' ten-part Description of Greece.
