Question 5
Original passage
The oracle of Delphi functioned in a specific place, the adyton, or "no entry" area of the temple's core, and through a specific person, the Pythia, who was chosen to speak, as a possessed medium, for Apollo, the god of prophecy. Extraordinarily for misogynist Greece, the Pythia was a woman. And unlike most Greek priests and priestesses, the Pythia did not inherit her office through noble family connections. Although the Pythia had to be from Delphi, she could be old or young, rich or poor, well educated or illiterate. She went through a long and intense period of conditioning, supported by a sisterhood of Delphic women who tended the eternal sacred fire in the temple.
From John R. Hale, et al., "Questioning the Delphic Oracle," Scientific American August 2003: 67.
SUMMARY: The Delphic oracle functioned in a "no entry" part of the temple, and through the Pythia, a possessed medium, who spoke for Apollo, the god of prophecy. The Pythia, who was a woman, studied long and hard, and had to be from Delphi, could be old or young, rich or poor, well educated or illiterate.
