So here’s how it all began…
Oracle of Delphi Comic: Apollo’s Prophecy!
What you see in this Oracle of Delphi comic is inspired by my unforgettable trip to Delphi in Greece, where I checked out the Temple of Apollo — something I recall in Things to Do in Delphi: The 23 Best Attractions. It’s also heavily inspired by my epic hike up Mount Olympus — totally mind-blowing. And honestly, I think I got a sign from the Greek gods during that adventure. So yeah, that’s how Greek Gods Paradise came to be — pretty wild, huh?
Here are some more details to help you better appreciate this Oracle of Delphi comic. Meet Pythia, the ancient world’s most famous fortune-teller, and the star of Delphi’s Temple of Apollo. Think of her as Greece’s original psychic, but with a twist — she was basically the ancient version of a mystical, slightly mysterious gossip. Pythia was a priestess who sat on a sacred tripod over a crack in the earth, where gases from beneath the temple’s rocks would rise up and give her a little extra “divine inspiration.” Legend has it, she would enter a trance-like state, mumbling cryptic prophecies that priests and kings eagerly tried to decode — kind of like ancient Twitter, but way more mysterious.
People from all over Ancient Greece (and beyond) traveled miles just to get her take on everything from wars to love lives. The Oracle’s words weren’t always crystal clear — they often sounded like riddles or poetic riddles, leaving everyone scratching their heads. But no matter how confusing, her prophecies held serious weight — kings would change plans, wars would be won or lost, all based on her divine whispers. Pythia was not just a fortune-teller. She was the ultimate ancient influencer, shaping history one cryptic message at a time.
