Christ Carrying the Cross		Temptation of St. Anthony

When Alexander went to Delphi, and old Pythia was working there. It proves that this decision to appoint only old women as Pythia must have been taken during the last two hundred yaers. The reason was that a young man named Echecrates had come to enquire about his future. He raped the pretty and young Pythia. Pythia had told him that he would be killed after committing a crime. He was killed immediately after committing the crime of raping Pythia. From that time only old women were employed for the task of telling the future.
