Located at southwestern slope of Mount Parnassus, Delphi is a large archaeological site with a small modern town named after the word “delphini” (dolphin). According to mythology Delphi was considered the navel of the earth and became really powerful, because it was the home of the most famous oracle for the ancient world. It was at this particular point that the most powerful woman of the ancient world, Pythia, influenced through her prophecies the decisions of many people of the time.
