Delphi
Delphi during prehistoric times was a site for worship of Mother Earth as "delphi" means "womb" indicating veneration of Gaia. Later in 8th century B.C the sanctuary of Apollo was built.There is a misconception that the oracle predicted the future, actually gave advice on how to avoid disaster, to clean impiety and to establish settlements at Mediterranean.Three phrases are carved into the temple as eternal teachings:"Know thyself", "Nothing in excess".and "make a pledge and mischief is nigh".
