This book speaks to all admirers of Delphi and its famous prophecies, whether they are experts on ancient Greek religion, students of the ancient world, or just lovers of a good story. It highlights key themes of oracle stories and finds religious meaning in the infamous oracular ambiguity.
Revisiting Delphi speaks to all admirers of Delphi and its famous prophecies, be they experts on ancient Greek religion, students of the ancient world, or just lovers of a good story. It invites readers to revisit the famous Oracle of Apollo at Delphi, along with Herodotus, Euripides, Socrates, Pausanias and Athenaeus, offering the first comparative and extended enquiry into the way these and other authors force us to move the link between religion and narrative centre stage. Their accounts of Delphi and its prophecies reflect a world in which the gods frequently remain baffling and elusive despite every human effort to make sense of the signs they give.
