Greetings Greekers.  Off topic perhaps.  At any
rate, respond to me individually, if you would.

In Ac 16:16, the slave girl had a spirit of divination,
or a Python spirit.  Am I correct in my understanding
that this was connected to the Oracle at Delphi?
Also, I understand that the Oracle breathed fumes
which came up out of rock in the temple at Delphi.
Upon breathing these fumes, the Oracle came to a
frenzied state, in which she would prophesy in ecstatic
speech which would be interpreted by her attendants.
Correct or no?

If so, what reference might I find this or correction of
it?

Thanks!
