We do this together or not at all. It has been proposed that this page be merged with Sanctuary of Kosmos, under the article: Cave of Gaia. Discussion to this effect can be held on the former article's talk page. |
The Cave of Gaia was a cave located by the Temple of Apollo within the Sanctuary of Delphi in Phokis, Greece.
Dedicated to the Greek goddess Gaia, the original possessor of the oracle of the site,[1], Herodotos mentioned that the Temple of Apollo was by the cave.[2]
According to the acting Pythia in 431 BCE, the Cult of Kosmos met in an ancient chamber, below the Temple of Apollo.[2]
Behind the scenes
Though the cave is specifically mentioned in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, its location is unverifiable. That said, historically a sanctuary of Gaia was located within the Sanctuary of Delphi, preceding its association with the god Apollo.[3]
