Another interesting note about Pythia is that the Pythian Oracles of Apollo are thought to have kept sacred snakes under the temple. Also, in one of the myths about Apollo, the god had to kill a gigantic serpent or dragon who guarded the oracle at Delphi before it became a sacred place.
I do find it a little strange that they have legionares and the like, though. I would have thought that an armyset like Arcoscephale's would have been more appropriate, given that Pythia is much more related to Greek than Roman mythology.
