Delphic Oracle, Ancient oracle sanctuary in Delphi, Greece.
The Temple of Apollo stands on a terrace supported by a polygonal wall between two tall rocks of Mount Parnassus near the Gulf of Corinth.
The sanctuary evolved from a shrine to Gaia in 1400 BC to become the most significant oracle site in the ancient world by the 8th century BC.
The Pythia, a high priestess chosen from local women, delivered prophecies in the temple's inner chamber while sitting on a tripod over an earth opening.
The archaeological site includes multiple structures such as the Temple of Apollo, the theater, the stadium, and numerous treasuries along the Sacred Way.
Greek city-states marked their military victories by building elaborate treasury houses at Delphi, storing valuable offerings and displaying their wealth.
