About this portal

Delphi was considered the 'Navel of the World' (Omphalos) in Ancient Greece, the center of the universe according to Greek mythology. The Oracle of Delphi, dedicated to Apollo, operated over a geological fissure that emitted gases which induced trance states in the Pythia. It is one of the most important sites of classical antiquity.

Pesquisa Revela Origem Misteriosa do Oráculo de Delfos no Século IX a.C.

Um estudo publicado em julho de 2026 pelo pesquisador Caleb Howells sintetiza evidências arqueológicas e históricas para esclarecer a origem do Oráculo de Delfos. Contrariando mitos que situam o templo na Era Micênica, os dados apontam que o culto a Apolo e a construção do primeiro templo em Delfos começaram no final do século IX a.C. Uma camada de destruição por incêndio datada de 730–725 a.C. corresponde ao relato de Pausânias sobre o saque do templo, e artefatos cretenses encontrados no local sugerem que os marinheiros cretenses participaram da restauração — não da fundação original.
