| ENT_PHOEBE_AT_DELPHI | SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY | scholarly attestation | Theogony 136, 404-410: Phoebe (Titaness) held the oracle at Delphi before passing it to Apollo via her daughter Leto (implied by the divine lineage: Phoebe bore Leto, who bore Apollo "Phoebus" = the Bright One); the ENT_PHOEBE_AT_DELPHI cult entity represents the Delphi oracle tradition before Apollo; its theological basis is the Hesiodic genealogy of Phoebe as Leto's mother and Apollo's grandmother |
