The sanctuary in Cyrenaica

The Oracle of Apollo was a religious figure who served as a medium for the Greek god Apollo.

History

In ancient Greece, the sanctuary of Delphi was famous for its Oracle of Apollo, also called Pythia. She was well respected by the various people of Greece, and was believed to receive visions and advice from the the gods, especially Apollo himself.[1]

By the 1st century BCE, Phoebe served as the oracle in the sanctuary in the Green Mountains region of Cyrenaica and was visited by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa in 47 BCE.[2]
