The were two main cults, the Pythian Apollo in Delphi and the Delian Apollo in the island of Delos. The Pythian Apollo was an oracular deity. He was the patron of Delhi and the prophetic god of the Oracle of Delphi (Pythia) who carried out her divinations at the temple of Apollo and whose prophecies were inspired by Apollo. People came to consult the Pythia from all over the Greek world and beyond. He was also said to have been born in the island of Delos and the temple there was of comparable importance to that of Delphi. In the Delian Apollo cult, sacrifices were offered to him.
