Promanteia

Promanteia was the privilege, bestowed upon cities or individuals by the Oracle of Delphi, to ask the Pythia in priority.

[1] In the course of the classical period the priests of Delphi established a series of honours bestowed upon those who offered benefactions to the sanctuary, whether they were cities or individuals.

From the beginning of the 4th century BC, this right continued to be accorded to individuals and to be combined with other privileges, such as prothysia and proxenia.

[2] On the base of the Sphinx of the Naxians in Delphi, there is an inscription dated to 328–327 BC, renewing the promanteia for the inhabitants of Naxos:

Delphi accorded the Naxians the right of Promanteia as before, at the time of archon Theolytos and Epigenes the BouleutesChristine Sourvinou-Inwood: What is polis religion?

According to the 4th century BCE inscription at the base of the Sphinx of the Naxians in Delphi , the Naxians (inhabitants of Naxos ) had "Promanteia".
