In Archaic Greece, an [[amphictyony]] (Greek: [[ἀμφικτυονία]]), a "[[league]] of [[neighbor]]s", or [[Amphictyonic League]] was an [[ancient]] [[religious]] [[association]] of [[Greek]] [[tribe]]s formed in the dim past, before the rise of the various Greek poleis. The six Dorian cities of coastal southwest Anatolia, or the twelve Ionian cities to the north, the dodecapolis forming an Ionian League emerging in the aftermath of a faintly remembered Meliac war in the mid-7th century BC, were already of considerable antiquity when the first written records emerge.

An amphictyony consisting of polities under the aegis of Apollo's shrine at Delos was apparently well-established in the seventh century, as the Homeric Hymn to Delian Apollo of that approximate date lists them, those cities and islands that trembled and refused to offer themselves for the birthplace of Apollo when pregnant Leto went to each in turn; the Homeric hymn presents an origin myth for the cult of Apollo on Delos. The joint Ionian festival celebrated there was the Delia. The Delian amphictyony was recreated[by whom?] in the 4th century BC as an instrument of Athenian hegemony.
