Description: Delphi - The Oracle of Delphi was the most famous and powerful prophetess in ancient Greece. Operating from the Temple of Apollo at Delphi on Mount Parnassus, a high priestess known as the Pythia delivered cryptic divine prophecies from the 8th century BC until the late 4th century AD.
Description: The Pythia - the priestess at Delphi - sat on a tripod inside the temple inhaling fumes from the decaying body of the Python, slain by Apollo, and giving oracles - visions of the future - to those lucky enough to gain admittance. These oracles came directly from Apollo, got of prophecy.
