Delphi was the site of the Delphic oracle, who was the most famous oracle of ancient times. This oracle was consulted before making important decisions. Greeks and other peoples traveled to this sacred place to consult the oracle to learn the gods' wishes.
Because of the nature of the site at Delphi, the original temple was devoted to Gaea, and later to Themis and Pheobe, the goddesses who shared the office of prophetic deity. Later, the site became sacred to Poseidon (since Delphi is seismically active and he was God of Earthquakes). When Apollo was named God of Prophecy, the site was rededicated to him, and under his guidance, the most memorable prophecies were made.
