Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Castalian Spring, in the ravine between the Phaedriades at Delphi, is where all visitors to Delphi — the contestants in the Pythian Games, and especially pilgrims who came to consult the Delphic Oracle — stopped to wash themselves and quench their thirst; it is also here that the Pythia and the priests cleansed themselves before the oracle-giving process. Finally Roman poets regarded it as a source of poetic inspiration. According to some mythological versions it was here that Apollo killed the monster, Python, who was guarding the spring, and that is why it was considered to be sacred.

Summary from Ελληνικά / Modern Greek Wikipedia (elwiki)

Η Κασταλία πηγή είναι φυσική πηγή στους πρόποδες του Παρνασσού. Πήρε το όνομά της από την μυθική νύμφη Κασταλία, η οποία στην προσπάθειά της να ξεφύγει από τον Απόλλωνα έπεσε στην πηγή αυτή και πνίγηκε. Στην αρχαιότητα ήταν αφιερωμένη στον θεό Απόλλωνα και στις Μούσες.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

La fuente Castalia en el santuario de Delfos, a mitad de camino entre Marmaria y el santuario, era el manantial sagrado donde los peregrinos se purificaban antes de entrar en el recinto; brotaba entre dos grandes rocas llamadas Fedríades («brillantes»).[1]​ Otra fuente menor, «Kassotis», ya dentro del témenos, era donde la Pitia o pitonisa realizaba abluciones antes de pronunciar sus augurios.[2]
