She specifically served as its oracle and was known as the Oracle of Delphi. Her title was also historically glossed in English as the Pythoness. The name Pythia is derived from Pytho, which in myth was the original name of Delphi. Etymologically, the Greeks derived this place name from the verb πύθειν (púthein) "to rot", which refers to the sickly sweet smell from the decomposing body of the monstrous Python after she was slain by Apollo. The Pythia has established at the latest in the 8th century BC, (though some estimates date the shrine to as early as 1400 BC), and was widely credited for her prophecies uttered under divine possession by Apollo. The Pythian priestess emerged pre-eminent by the end of the 7th century BC and continued to be consulted until the late 4th century AD. During this period, the Delphic Oracle was the most prestigious and authoritative oracle among the Greeks, and she was among the most powerful women in the classical world. The oracle is one of the best-documented religious institutions of the classical Greeks. Authors who mention the oracle include Aeschylus, Aristotle, Clement of Alexandria, Diodorus, Diogenes, Euripides, Herodotus, Julian, Justin, Livy, Lucan, Nepos, Ovid, Pausanias, Pindar, Plato, Plutarch, Sophocles, Strabo, Thucydides, and Xenophon. Nevertheless, details of how the Pythia operated are scarce, missing, or non-existent entirely, as authors from the classical period (6th to 4th centuries BC) treat the process as common knowledge with no need to explain it. Those who discussed the oracle in any detail are from 1st century BC to 4th century AD and give conflicting stories. One of the main stories claimed that the Pythia delivered oracles in a frenzied state induced by vapors rising from a chasm in the rock and that she spoke gibberish which priests interpreted as the enigmatic prophecies and turned them into poetic dactylic hexameters preserved in Greek literature. This idea, however, has been challenged by scholars such as Joseph Fontenrose and Lisa Maurizio, who argue that the ancient sources uniformly represent the Pythia speaking intelligibly, and giving prophecies in her own voice.

Pythia – hand embellished art print Pythia is the name of the high priestess, who served as an oracle at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. People from all around ancient Greece travelled to Delphi to ask their questions to the oracle and hear the prophecies that were sent from the god Apollo himself to be transmitted through the high priestess. Many great and influential historical or mythological personalities, like Alexander the Great or Laios, the father of Oedipus, visited the oracle to search for advice and guidance. In fact, Pythia was the highest authority in ancient Greece in terms of political, religious and personal questions – as a woman in a male-dominated society. It is said that before the Temple was built, a huge snake named “Python” lived in this place, that the ancient Greeks thought of as the center of the earth. Apollo killed the monstrous snake and to honor him a temple was built where “Python” had fallen. When receiving the prophecies from Apollo, Pythia sat in the part of the temple where the earth was open and fumes arose from the depths, that helped the high priestess to fall into trance. Pictures often show Pythia sitting on a tripod above the opening, holding a laurel branch and a dish of Kassotis spring water in her hands while responding to the questions of her petitioners in mysterious riddles. 29,7x21 cm.
