Delphi, Greece
Delphi, town of ancient Greece, site of a celebrated oracle of the god Apollo, situated on the slope of Mount Parnassus, in Phocis (now Fokis
Department), about 9.5 km (about 6 mi) inland from the Gulf of Corinth. The center of Delphi is the sanctuary of Apollo, on the southern tip of
the mountain slope. The Doric temple was the home of the Pythia, who, seated on a tripod above a deep crevasse, would pronounce her
prophecies while the priests wrote them down and translated them to the people. The frieze of the treasury is now in the archaeological museum
along with many artifacts from the site including the omphalos, the sculptured cone that stood in the exact center of the world and the famous
bronze statue of the Charioteer, one of the most celebrated pieces of ancient art in the world.
