Delphi was sacred to Gaea, Python guarded it - whom Apollo slayed. Kastalia or Kassotis was the Naiad Nymph of the prophetic springs of the Delphic Oracle on Mount Parnassos, Phokis (central Greece). Pronoia or Hêsionê was an Okeanid nymph of Mount Parnassos in Phokis (central Greece). She was the wife of the Titan Prometheus and, as her name suggests, a goddess of foresight. Kleodôra was a Nymph of Mount Parnassos in Phokis. She was loved by the god Poseidon and bore him Parnassos, eponymous hero of the mountain, and founder of the first pre-Deluge town of Delphi. Kôrykia a nymph, who became by Apollo the mother of Lycorus or Lycoreus, and from whom the Corycian cave in mount Parnassus was believed to have derived its name. Melainê was a Naiad Nymph of the springs of Delphoi in Phokis (central Greece), a daughter of the local river-god Kephisos (Cephisus). She was loved by the god of the shrine Apollon, bearing him the eponymous son Delphos. Thyia was the Naiad Nymph of a spring on Mount Parnassos in Phokis (central Greece). Her shrine was the site for the gathering of the Thyiades--woman celebrants of the orgies of the god Dionysos. She was also said to have been loved by Apollon and bore him the eponymous founder of the village of Delphoi, beside the oracular shrine. Khryseai Kêlêdones were magical singers crafted of gold by Hephaistos for the the second mythical temple of the god Apollon at Delphi. Delphi is said to have passed from Gaea to her daughter Themis, who passed it to her sister Phoebe who gave it up to Apollo for his birthday. At one time Delphi belonged to Poseidon in common with Geae, but Apollo gave him Calauria as a compensation for it. Further Poseidon used Pyrkon (Python?) as his mouthpiece in giving responses. There is hinting to Apollo having pursued a prophetess appointed to Delphi by Geae prior to Apollo taking control of it: Daphnis (Daphne) who cried out to Gaea for help and was transformed into a laurel tree.
