The Delphic oracle was established in the eighth century B.C.E.[1] Its last recorded response was given in 393 C.E., when the emperor Theodosius I ordered pagan temples to cease operation. During this period the Delphic Oracle was the most prestigious and authoritative oracle in the Greek world. The oracle is one of the best-documented religious institutions of the classical Greek world. Athletes and Oracles: The Transformation of Olympia and Delphi in the Eighth Century B.C.E.
