Delphi Decoded

Nestled on the slopes of Mount Parnassus in central Greece, Delphi stands as one of the ancient world’s most enigmatic sites. Revered as the navel of the world, this sanctuary dedicated to Apollo housed the Oracle, whose cryptic prophecies shaped the course of Greek history. While the mystical aura surrounding the Pythia—the priestess who served as the Oracle—has inspired myths for centuries, modern science has shed fascinating light on the phenomenon.
