The predictions from the oracle at Delphi were known to be the
most accurate in the ancient world. When King Croesus of Lydia
sought the best oracular reading, he tested eight oracle sites and
found the oracle at Delphi, the Pythia--goddess and priestess to
Apollo--predicted the correct answer he sought. Through a series of
visits to the oracle at Delphi, each with a different set of
questions, King Croesus decided to wage war upon the Persians and
Cyrus after an oracle said, "A great empire would be lost if he
waged war against the Persians." Fate and destiny of King Croesus
was predicted four generations prior from the oracle at Delphi.
After spending too many days in the oracle chamber, one of the
oracles collapsed and died from inhaling the toxic fumes.
