The Greeks believed that the Oracle of Delphi, specifically the priestess known as the Pythia, could accurately predict the future. People from all over the Greek world traveled to consult the Oracle for guidance on various matters, such as personal decisions, political issues, and significant events. The Pythia would enter into a trance and deliver cryptic messages, which were interpreted by the priests at the site. The other options listed, such as controlling the weather, knowing the end of the world, or working for the Persian emperor, do not accurately reflect the traditional beliefs about the Oracle of Delphi.
