The Oracle at Delphi
S1 • E15 30m
Overlooking the valley of Pleistos and nestled halfway up Mount Parnassus in Greece sits the famed Oracle of Delphi. Built over 2700 years ago, in ancient times Delphi welcomed religious pilgrims, rulers, and athletes of the Pythian Games. A famous maxim carved in stone there is "Know Thyself".
