In Greek mythology, Apollo's priestess is known as the Pythia or Oracle of Delphi. The Pythia was a high priestess who delivered prophecies and advice in the temple of Apollo at Delphi. She would enter a trance-like state to communicate the messages from the god Apollo to those seeking guidance.
Pythia, the priestess of the Oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece, was believed to have originated from the worship of the earth goddess Gaia. The site of Delphi was considered sacred, and Pythia was thought to deliver prophecies inspired by the god Apollo, who was believed to have taken over the oracle's functions. Her role as a medium involved entering a trance state, often attributed to the inhalation of ethereal vapors from a chasm in the earth. The title "Pythia" itself is derived from "Pytho," the name of the site before it became associated with Apollo.
The Pythia at Delphi is Apollo's oracle in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Pythia is the priestess at Apollo's temple on the Delphic slopes of Mount Parnassus. She is one of many oracular priestesses in ancient Greece. All oracles honor Apollo the sun god, but the most respected of them all is the Pythia, the Delphic oracle.
