Philosopher Plutarch is also known as a priest of Apollo. He has written. “An ill-omen occurred when some foreigners came there. The sacrificial goat did not shiver when holy water sprinkled on her. She stood still. It was supposed that God Apollo would accept her only when she shivered in particular manner. The priests did not pay attention to this phenomenon and sacrificed it. As a result, when Pythia was brought there, she could not give even one correct answer. After some time she shrieked loudly and became unconscious. After some time she died.”
