PYTHIA
oRACLE OF DELPHI
A NEW DELPHI
It is the year 2149, and in a world transformed by technological marvels and stunning architectural wonders, the enigmatic figure of Pythia emerges as the Oracle of Delphi. Situated on the borders of Atlantis, Delphi stands as a beacon of wisdom and ancient mysticism. Pythia, an embodiment of profound knowledge and otherworldly intuition, holds court within its hallowed halls. Whilst the original Delphi was first dedicated to Gaia, and then Poseidon before Apollo up until 400 AD, the fourth temple is very much a shrine of Poseidon.
Adorned in flowing robes that seem to shift with the ethereal winds, Pythia exudes an aura of wisdom that draws visitors from far and wide. Her age, seemingly timeless, leaves those who gaze upon her questioning whether she is a vessel of ancient wisdom or a being transcending the limitations of time itself. Scholars, philosophers, and seekers of truth flock to Delphi, eager to decipher the enigma that is Pythia.
An Unknown Knowledge
Debate and speculation surround the source of Pythia’s wisdom. Some believe that Pythia receives her counsel directly from the Greek gods, who have chosen to reveal their wisdom through her. Others suggest that her profound insights stem from her extensive studies and unrivaled knowledge of ancient texts and philosophies. Regardless of the origin, none can deny the profound impact her advice has on those who seek it.
Those fortunate enough to receive an audience with Pythia are greeted with an air of tranquility. Her voice, soft yet commanding, carries the weight of ages as she imparts her counsel. Her words, laden with symbolic language and riddles, leave listeners both captivated and perplexed. It is said that her prophecies possess an uncanny accuracy, guiding individuals, cities, and even nations towards their destined paths.
THE ORACLE
Yet, Pythia remains an enigma herself, her true nature shrouded in mystery. Some believe she is an embodiment of the ancient Oracle, chosen to guide humanity through the turbulent waters of the future. Others argue that Pythia may be an advanced artificial intelligence, drawing upon vast databases of knowledge to provide guidance to those who seek it.
Regardless of the origin of her wisdom, Pythia's influence extends beyond the borders of Delphi. Leaders consult her on matters of state, seeking her insight into political decisions and potential conflicts. The wealthy and influential seek her advice on personal matters, hoping to unlock the secrets of prosperity and happiness.
In the year 2149, within the floating city of Delphi, Pythia stands as a figure of immense wisdom, captivating all who encounter her. Whether her counsel is divinely inspired or a product of vast knowledge, her presence is a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient mysticism, shamanism and the eternal quest for guidance in an ever-changing world. As long as Delphi floats upon the waters of the modern Atlantis, Pythia will continue to inspire awe and curiosity, her wisdom sought by those who yearn for profound insight in a time of uncertainty.
