4. Ancient Greece Civilization: The Oracle of Delphi - Prophecies, Methodology, Apollo, and More

The Oracle of Delphi was a powerful and influential institution in ancient Greece, located at the Sanctuary of Apollo in Delphi. The Oracle was believed to be the mouthpiece of the god Apollo, and was consulted by individuals, city-states, and kings seeking advice on important matters such as war, politics, and personal issues. The Oracle was operated by a priestess known as the Pythia, who was believed to be able to receive messages from Apollo through a state of inspired trance.
The Oracle's predictions were highly respected and often used as a guide for decision-making. The Oracle at Delphi was active for over a thousand years, from the 8th century BC until the 4th century AD. It was also one of the most important religious sites in ancient Greece and attracted thousands of visitors each year. The Delphi Sanctuary, including the Temple of Apollo, the theater and the stadium, is considered a UNESCO World Heritage site.
