  Temple of Apollo
by johngayton
 
 

The Temple of Apollo was and is the main attraction here at Delphi. It was here that the Pythian priestess would inhale the natural vapours emanating from the rocks and on entering a trance would chant her prophesies in semi-sensible sentences. It would be down to the priests to interpret the garbled messages and relay them to the advice seeker. Of course such services didn't come free of charge and donations and sacrifices were the order of the day.

Directions: Midway up the Sacred Way.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
