Description
A gripping brand new-day detective story in regards to the scientific quest to be mindful the Oracle of Delphi
Like Walking the Bible, this fascinating book turns a brand new eye on a long lasting legend. The Oracle of Delphi used to be probably the most influential figures in ancient Greece. Human mistress of the god Apollo, she had the power to go into into ecstatic communion with him and deliver his prophesies to men. Thousands of years later, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist William J. Broad follows a crew of enterprising researchers as they sift throughout the evidence of history, geology, and archaeology to reveal—so far as science is in a position—the source of her visions.
