Delphi inspired literature as well. In 1814 W. Haygarth, friend of Lord Byron, refers to Delphi in his work "Greece, a Poem". In 1888 [[Charles Marie René Leconte de Lisle]] published his lyric drama L’Apollonide, accompanied by music by [[Franz Servais]]. More recent French authors used Delphi as a source of inspiration such as [[Yves Bonnefoy]] (Delphes du second jour) or Jean Sullivan (nickname of [[Joseph Lemarchand]]) in L'Obsession de Delphes (1967), but also [[Rob MacGregor]]'s [[Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi]] (1991).

The presence of Delphi in [[Greek literature]] is very intense. Poets such as [[Kostis Palamas]] (The Delphic Hymn, 1894), [[Kostas Karyotakis]] (Delphic festival, 1927), [[Nikephoros Vrettakos]] (return from Delphi, 1957), [[Yannis Ritsos]] (Delphi, 1961–62) and [[Kiki Dimoula]] (Gas omphalos and Appropriate terrain 1988), to mention only the most renowned ones. [[Angelos Sikelianos]] wrote The Dedication (of the Delphic speech) (1927), the Delphic Hymn (1927) and the tragedy Sibylla (1940), whereas in the context of the Delphic idea and the Delphic festivals he published an essay entitled "The Delphic union" (1930). The nobelist [[George Seferis]] wrote an essay under the title "Delphi", in the book "Dokimes".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Yiannias|first=Vicky|date=October 6, 2003|title=Lecture on Seferis at the Hellenic Culture Foundation|url=https://www.greeknewsonline.com/lecture-on-seferis-at-the-hellenic-culture-foundation/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-04-18|website=Greek News|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210418032903/https://www.greeknewsonline.com/lecture-on-seferis-at-the-hellenic-culture-foundation/ |archive-date=2021-04-18 }}</ref>
