Oracle of Delphi #atozchallenge

During the Greco-Roman era, oracles were sought for counsel and even for predictions. Their advice was heeded as if from the gods.

The Oracle of Delphi was never doubted and she was considered the most accurate of all the oracles.

The Oracle was a female priestess called Pythia. 

Before she would answer, the Pythia would prepare herself, ritually and speak in ecstatic utterances.

Some of her words still survive.

"Make your own nature, 

not the advice of others, 

your guide in life."

Words to Cicero on how to find the greatest fame.
