Biography

Following in the footsteps of oracles before her, the Pythia of 430s BCE as well was forced to deliver prophecies to the many visitor of the Temple of Apollo according to the Cult's orders, based on their reading of the Isu artifact within the Sanctuary of Kosmos.^[1] She was under their thumb, attended to by guards loyal to the Cult at all times, even in her residence within the Chora of Delphi.^[1]

After revealing the cult's motives to the Spartan misthios Kassandra, the Pythia fled Phokis, and the Cult.
