Delphi is both an archaeological site and a modern town on the southwestern slope of Mount Parnassus in the valley of Phocis. In Greek mythology, it was the navel of the earth, the site of the Delphic Oracle and a major site for the worship of god Apollo after he slew the Python, a dragon who protected the navel of the earth. Apollo spoke through his oracle.
The priestess of the
oracle known as the
Pythia had to be an
older woman and sat
on a tripod seat over
an opening in the
earth.
Apollo
possessed Pythia and
she prophesied.
People consulted the
Delphic Oracle on
everything from
important matters of
public policy to
personal affairs.
