The truth about the Oracle's insight is that her chamber was situated above a sulfer deposit. The fumes would rise into the chamber, and the oracle would breathe them in, causing some hallucinogenic properties. Much of what the Oracle would say would be gibberish, and her interpreters would repeat these insights in more comprehensible Greek.

I'm not sure that theory of the sulfer deposit is proven - apparently, the "explanation of a chasm that emitted gas is not seen in the source material until the first century BC. This allusion seems to appear in the later sources, many of which were written by Christians who aimed to dismiss 'pagan' rituals and traditions such as the Oracle." Not saying the Oracle wasn't high on something, though xD

I've seen some people claim it was just "winging it" but this overlooks the craziest part. Some other prophetic gods, such as Dionysus, communicated through "ritual insanity" which involved getting drunk and thrashing around. The Pythia, however, would speak in perfect hexametrical verse when giving her prophecies. That still blows my mind when I think about it!

A wholesome fun fact: According to Aeschylus, the Titaness Phoebe used to own the Oracle of Delphi. Later, she gifted it to her grandson Apollo as a birthday gift. Best grandma in the world ❤

To think these "frauds" one can say, were a major part of some of ancient history's biggest decisions really stresses me out. What's worse is that many people still believe in Psychics and Astrologers.

The gods bleed gold blood that's poison to mortals called the ichor but nobody ever puts that in Greek mythology based fiction. I feel like we're missing out on a great story where a Kratos-like hero tries to kill a god but nearly dies as the ichor seers his flesh. That would be epic.
