I’d help shape boat for Pythia (7,6)

I believe the answer is:

delphic oracle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pythia' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'i'd help shape boat' is the wordplay.
'shape' indicates an anagram.
'boat' becomes 'coracle' (coracle is a kind of boat).
'id'+'help'='idhelp'
'idhelp' is an anagram of 'delphi'.
'delphi'+'coracle'='DELPHIC ORACLE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
