Oracle of Delphi

The Oracle of Delphi was a chosen priestess who was alledgedly able to tell the future.  She was also called The Pythia. The Oracle was located in Greece and she was originally the priestess of Gaia.  The priests of Apollo invaded Greece and the temple was then dedicated to Apollo.

The Oracle was consulted for many important things.  As the old religions began to fade away, so too did the Oracle of Delphi.
