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.
Here is an example sentence with the word "Delphi":It was almost hard to believe that the sun god Apollo was speaking through the Oracle of Delphi as she sat there in front of me, staring at me with those clear blue eyes.
The temple of Delphi held the Oracle, a young woman who could communicate the future from the Greek god Apollo and provide solutions to peoples problems
Delphi was the Oracle of Apollo. It was there that mortals went to seek answers to their future. A young priestess sat on a tripod, inhaling fumes from the crevice that she sat by, and priests told the seeker what she had said. It was usually ambiguous, and the seeker had to figure out the meaning of it.

No the Delphic Oracle was a woman who would go into a trance and chew laurel leaves and speak the words of the God's to any questions asked to her by people and give advice and plans. The Shrine was called the Shrine of Pythia. It was within the Shrine that the Oracle of Delphi gave her prophecies.
Dating back to 1400 BC, the Oracle of Delphi was the most important shrine in all Greece. The shrine was in Delphi, located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, beneath the Castalian Spring.
Oracle of Delphi
Apollo is the great Olympian god of prophesy and oracles [Delphi and Pytheia], medicin, music [lyre] and archery [sun's rays - bow and quiver].
There was the oracle, who could answer important questions.
You are referring to Oracles, and there were a number of them in ancient myth. The most famous, though, were the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi and the Talking Oak of Zeus at Dodonna.
It is in Delphi that the oracle is located in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, there is a shrine to the sun god Apollo in Delphi. Apollo also is the god of prophecy. His most important medium, through whom he speaks of human futures, is the Pythia, who also is called the Delphic oracle.
The location of Apollo's shrine, the Delphic oracle's residence, Laius' destination and Oedipus' fateful prophecy are what Delphi is in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Delphi's visitors pass back and forth through the Delphi-Daulia crossroads in the land of Phocis. It is visited because of its shrine to the sun god Apollo and the residence of the Pythia, Apollo's most famous and respected oracle of divine prophecy and will. It is the location where subsequent Theban King Oedipus receives a life-changing prophecy. It is the final destination towards which Theban King Laius heads before his murder.
