Delphi

Phocis

Delphi, on the slopes of Mount Parnassus in Phocis, central Greece, was the site of the most famous oracle of Apollo and was regarded as the religious center of the Greek world. The biographer and Platonist philosopher Plutarch served for many years as a priest at the Delphic sanctuary, and several of his essays concern the oracle. Tradition connects the fabulist Aesop with a death at Delphi.
