The desire to know the future has accompanied people since the dawn of time. The oracle in Delphi, dating back to the Mycenaean period, was one of the most famous in the entire ancient world. The Greeks even considered the sanctuary to be omphalos or the navel of the world. Located at the foot of Parnassus, the ruins of the ancient sanctuary dedicated to Apollo and Athena Pronaja are most picturesque from the road leading to the stadium.
