The Pythia, or high priestess of Apollo in Delphi, in 480 BCE was one of the many oracles manipulated by the Cult of Kosmos.

In 480 BCE, the Pythia accompanied the Cult to Sparta after learning that King Leonidas I was preparing to go to war with King Xerxes I of Persia, whom the Cult had supported. The Pythia attempted to convince the King that his efforts to resist Xerxes' invasion would be fruitless and that Xerxes would bring order to chaos.

Nevertheless, Leonidas ignored the Pythia's advice and faced Xerxes' army the Battle of Thermopylae, an act which cost him his life, but ultimately paved way for the Greeks' victory.
