Delphi/Definition

In classic Greece, it was the site of the famous oracle of the god Apollo, where a priestess would take questions from people who wanted advice on a wide variety of topics and issues, and would impart the wisdom of Apollo, often with cryptic and ambiguous messages which were easily misinterpreted. Today, it is an archaeological site as well as a town in Greece near Mount Parnassus; the term today is common in analytic and software methods that use predictive techniques.
