Best Answer

Delphi was the Oracle of Apollo. It was there that mortals went to seek answers to their future. A young priestess sat on a tripod, inhaling fumes from the crevice that she sat by, and priests told the seeker what she had said. It was usually ambiguous, and the seeker had to figure out the meaning of it.
