This stone, called the "Navel Of The World," sat inside the Oracle's chamber in the temple. As she huffed the poisonous fumes coming out of the ground, she sat on a tripod stool with one hand on this stone. Greek mythology held that Mount Parnassus was the birthplace of the world, and this stone was its navel.
