The main entrance into the Sanctuary

The Sanctuary of Kosmos was the main hideout and meeting place of the Cult of Kosmos, located beneath the Sanctuary of Delphi in Phokis, Greece.

Though the entry into the sanctuary was indistinguishable, beyond it laid a natural cave, touched up by human architecture, leading ultimately into a grand hall with a platform surrounded by water. In the middle of the platform was a glowing Pyramid, and above it was a large bronze sculpture of a snake, coiled around the stalagmites and stalactites, its jaws wide open. On the platform was also a bowl for blood sacrifices.[1]

On one side of the cavern was located a treasury of the Cult.

In 431 BCE, the Spartan misthios Kassandra infiltrated the Sanctuary, wearing the robes and the mask she had taken from Elpenor.[2] Within, Kassandra found many Cultists, and learned more about the Cult and its goals as she explored the cavern and talked with the Cultists. She also witnessed a member of the Cult interrogating and threatening people, including the Pythia. Ultimately, Kassandra met Deimos, the weapon of the Cult.[3]
