Description
According to the legend, Delphi, the most important sanctuary of Greece, was the center of the world, because in this place the two eagles met, when Zeus set them free, one from the east and the other from West.
Originally the oracle belonged to Gaia who lived there with her son Python. But the god Apollo killed Python and the sanctuary became him. The fame of the oracle of Delphi had reached all over the world and many were those who came asking for some advice. The oracles were given by the god Apollo through Pythia. Pythia was originally a young woman with a virtuous life, but due to the great fame of the Oracle, the number of priestesses increased to two.
