Temple of Apollo

The Temple of Apollo within the Sanctuary of Delphi in Phokis, was one of the most significant and important temples dedicated to the god Apollo in Greece. In classical antiquity, it served as the seat of the Pythia, the most well known Oracle of Apollo.

History

The temple, as the rest of the Sanctuary, was under the control of the Cult of Kosmos during the 5th century BCE.[1]

Unaware of this, Barnabas and Herodotos suggested that the Spartan misthios Kassandra seek out the Pythia in the temple to receive advice on her journey.[2]

Entering the temple, Kassandra consulted the Pythia on the whereabouts of her family. The Pythia, having recognised her as the child who was thrown off Mount Taygetos, warned her about the Cult of Kosmos before being taken away by the Cultist guards. Kassandra subsequently chased out of the temple before she could find out more.[2]
