Pythia Name meanings & History

Pythia is derived from the name of the high priestess who served at the Temple of Apollo in ancient Greece. The word Pythia itself is related to the name of the mythical Python serpent that was slain by Apollo. From the name of Apollo's master priestess at Delphi, who was also known as the Oracle of Delphi. The name is derived from Πυθώ (Pytho), which is the old name of the city of Delphi.
