Kastalsky spring

The Kastalian spring is located near the ancient city of Delphi on the slope of the sacred Mount Parnassus. It was revered as a sacred source of the god Apollo and the muses. According to ancient Greek mythology, it was here that Apollo killed the dragon Python, who guarded the entrance to the shrine, and took possession of the oracle. The Delphic temple with the oracle was considered the main center of veneration of Apollo in ancient Greece and the most authoritative oracle in the ancient world.

According to one version, it is believed that the spring got its name from the nymph Castalia, who threw herself into this spring from Apollo who was pursuing her. The source provided drinking water and water for the priestesses-oracles, the so-called Pythia, who performed ritual ablutions here before divination. Ancient pilgrims, before visiting the oracle at the sanctuary of Apollo, also bathed in the waters of the spring. According to legend, only murderers were required to perform a full ablution, while others could only wash their hair. The waters of the Kastalsky spring are credited with healing properties and a rejuvenating effect. Also, sacred waters were considered a source of inspiration and were especially revered by poets and musicians.

Two springs that fed the Kastalsky spring have survived to this day. They were discovered during archaeological excavations in 1878 (Upper Castalia) and in 1960 (Lower Castalia). Lower Castalia was built approximately 600-590. BC. next to the ancient road. It is a rectangular structure with a stone pool, into which water flowed from a source through a pipeline hidden underground. The courtyard is paved with tiles and equipped with stone benches. Today this bath is clearly visible from highway. Upper Castalia dates from the first century BC. e. and built in the rock with special niches for gifts.

IN modern language The phrase “Castal source” means a source of inspiration.
