Those who dive from the top of the Rock of Leukade on the island of Leukos in Western Greece (today Lefkada) are, it is said, freed from their love.
After the death of Adonis it is said Aphrodite wandered around searching for the means to rid herself of her love.

Tell the king the fair wrought house has fallen.
No shelter has Apollon, nor sacred laurel leaves.

A day will come when Phoibos shall return and stay forever.

The priestess of Apollon delivering the oracle is called Pythia in memory of Python. Her prophecies were said to be inspired by being possessed by Apollon's essence. Initially the Pythia was a virgin, her chastity and purity reserved for her union with the god.
