"Delfos" is a Portuguese equivalent of "Delphi."

The Portuguese and the English nouns are translations of the name of a famous Greek city. In ancient times, Delphi was known as the location of athletic competitions that were held every four years and of the Mediterranean world's foremost prophetic priestess, the Pythia for the sun god Apollo. Nowadays, the city is known for its nearness to a wealth of archaeological finds and to coastal tourist activities.

The Portuguese pronunciation is "deh-oo-foosh."
