	Pythia
		The Pythia was the priestess at Apollo's oracle in Delphi.
		The Pythia sat on a bronze tripod in the adytum, or inner chamber of Apollo's temple.
		Dempsey states that the office of the Pythia was always held by a female (originally a virgin, but later at least fifty years old and married) and he points out the connection between the Pythia's gender and the cult of Mother Earth (53-55).

	Pythia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pythia was widely credited with giving prophecies inspired by Apollo, amking her the most powerful woman of antiquity.
		The Pythia was probably selected, at the death of her predeccessor, from amongst a guild of priestesses of the Temple of Apollo, and was required to be a woman of good character.
		Most commonly, these refer to Plutarch's observation that the her oracular powers appeared to be linked to vapors from the Castalian Spring that surrounded her, together with the observation that sessions of prophesy would either take place in, or be preceded by a visit to, an enclosed chamber at the base of the temple.

	Pythia
		Apollo verses the monster in the form of a serpent is reminiscent of all the hero versus dragon myths that appear in mythology, from the conquest of Tiamat by Marduk and the banishing of the serpent by Yahweh, to St. George's slaying of the dragon.
		Pythia, in the form of a woman rather than a snake, is said to have sat on a tripod over a chasm from which narcotic vapours rose.
		The fire of the transmutation, in the Pythia's case, was spiritual rather than material, and perhaps symbolised the rising fumes which caused the Pythia to 'sacrifice' her ordinary humanity and become a vehicle or conduit for the divine to enter the world.

	Tuning PYTHIA
		The "transverse" region is sensitive to the "underlying event" and we would like to tune the multiple parton interaction parameters of PYTHIA to fit the data.
		PYTHIA regulates these divergences using the same cut-off parameters that are used to regulate the multiple parton scattering cross section (see the above Table).
		The PT distribution in the "transverse" region, at low values of PTJ1, for the "tuned" version of PYTHIA is also dominated by the "beam-beam remnant" contribution as is the case for HERWIG.

	Reducing WWW Latency and Bandwidth Requirements by Real-Time Distillation
		Pythia maintains a user profile associated with the IP address of each HTTP client that contacts it, and provides a mechanism for users to "register" if their IP address changes (as is the case, e.g., with ISP's that assign IP addresses dynamically when users dial up).
		Pythia takes the user's word for this quantity, rather than attempting to measure the quality of the connection directly (e.g., by estimating the latency between the transmission of HTML text to the client and reception of an HTTP request for an embedded image).
		Pythia is fault-tolerant with respect to distillers: it will reap distillers that are killed due to NOW load balancing and will continue to function with degraded performance.

	Socrates and The Pythia
		When the Pythia mounted the tripod she received the pneuma, the divine "breath", defined as a divine imparting of knowledge and power and of inspiration, meaning in this case the divine wisdom or breath of Apollo.
		For him the Pythia's inspiration was her reception of divine force, for she had been trained to receive "the inspiration without harm to herself ", and could receive it safely only when she was rightly prepared.
		The Pythia was knowledgeable in many areas: history, religion, geography, politics, mathematics, philosophy, etc. She uttered advice on where and how to build cities, which laws to incorporate, and which prayers to utter.

		Pythia, on the other hand, is fortified by the divine inspiration of Apollo, and uses her power to guide those who seek her council.

		At Delphos, the Pythia, before she placed herself on the tripod, used to wash her whole body, and particularly her hair, in the waters of the fountain Castalis, at the foot of mount Parnassus.
		The Priestess always appeared dressed in the garments of virgins to intimate their purity and modesty, and they were solemnly bound to observe the strictest laws of temperance and chastity, that neither fantastical dresses nor lascivious behaviour might bring the office, the religion, or the sanctity of the place into contempt.
		De Boer, a geologist commented that Pythia, "delivered her prophecies while immersed in a trance induced by a naturally occurring mixture of ethane, methane, and ethylene, a sweet- smelling gas that was used as an anesthetic in the early 20th century.

	The Myth of Pythia
		Pythia (aka Sibyl, means prophet) was the name of the Greek oracle at Delphi, a priestess of the serpent Python.
		Modern reductionists dismiss the archaic propensity for visions and sometimes attempt to account for the Pythia's swoon with toxic methane or ethylene hydrocarbon vapors for example, in "Questioning the Delphic oracle," in Scientific American, October 2003.
		So, that basically gives you a background into the Pythia legend which appears to be gaining importance in Battlestar Galactica's new series.

		Although the Pythia had to be from Delphi, she could be old or young, rich or poor, well educated or illiterate.
		The ancient testimony, however, is widespread, and it comes from a variety of sources: historians such as Pliny and Diodorus, philosophers such as Plato, the poets Aeschylus and Cicero, the geographer Strabo, the travel writer Pausanias, and even a priest of Apollo who served at Delphi, the famous essayist and biographer Plutarch.
		It was emitted "as if from a spring" in the adyton where the Pythia sat, but priests and consultants could on some occasions smell it in the antechamber where they waited for her responses.

		Some texts say that the Pythia may have been a mother or wife, but when she becomes a Pythia, she must give up sexual relations for the sake of ritual purity--this would have been around the same age (about 50 years old--past the age of child-bearing).
