called "the great priest", being

Spintharus, Xenodoros, and Agathon on the remains of an earlier temple, dated to
the 6th century BC which itself was erected on the site of a 7th-century BC
construction attributed to the architects Trophonios and Agamedes.[1

The temple survived until AD 390, when the Roman emperor Theodosius I silenced the
oracle by destroying the temple and most of the statues and works of art in the name
of Christianity. The site was completely destroyed by zealous Christians in an attempt
to remove all traces of Paganism.The ruins of this temple decay at a faster rate than
some of the other ruins on the Southern slopes of the Parnassos mountain. This is
mostly due to the use of limestone, a softer material, along with porous stone.
