The Pythia was the name of the high priestess of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi who also served as its oracle, also known as the Oracle of Delphi.

Etymologically, the Greeks derived this place name from the verb πύθειν (púthein) "to rot", which refers to the sickly sweet smell from the decomposing body of the monstrous Python after she was slain by Apollo The Pythia was established at the latest in the 8th century BC, (though some estimates date the shrine to as early as 1400 BC), & was widely credited for her prophecies uttered under divine possession (enthusiasmos) by Apollo.
