Description:
I have always been drawn to myths and stories from classical antiquity going back to my days at school when I studied and very much enjoyed Greek mythology. The Pythia was the high priestess at Delphi in the temple dedicated to the god, Apollo. The Pythia was a powerful and respected authority, consulted for her cryptic wisdom, ability to see into the future and make prophesies.
