[b]Pythia[/b] (pronounced /ˈpɪθiə/ or /ˈpaɪθiə/, Greek: Πυθία [pyːˈtʰi.a]), commonly known as [b]the Oracle of Delphi[/b], was the priestess at the Greek Temple of Apollo at Delphi, located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Pythia was widely credited for her prophecies inspired by God [[Apollo (mythology)|]]. 

The Delphic [[Oracle (ancient greece)|]] was established in the 8th century BCE. The last recorded response was given during AD 393, when the emperor Theodosius I ordered pagan temples to cease operation.

During this period the Delphic Oracle was the most prestigious and authoritative oracle among the Greeks.
