Praxithea was a Greek woman and a former oracle living in the Chora of Delphi during the 5th century BCE.
Biography
When she was the Pythia, Praxithea was forced by the Cult of Kosmos to relay prophesies according to their designs. One of these was that the youngest child of the Spartan general Nikolaos would have to die to prevent the downfall of Sparta.[1] Years later in 431 BCE, the Spartan misthios and Nikolaos' elder child, Kassandra, happened to meet Praxithea, and was given the chance to avenge what her words had done to Kassandra's family.[2]
At some point in her life, Praxithea had children, and at least two grandchildren, Lykaon who became the local healer around the Chora of Delphi, and Agave.[3]
Trivia
- She shares her name with multiple figures from Greek mythology.
- The name is derived from the Greek words πρᾶξῐς (prâxis), meaning 'action, exercise, deed' and θεά(theā́), which means 'goddess'.
