Follow Aristonike, an Oracle-in-training in Delphi, as she studies to become the Pythia and communicate Apollo’s will and prophecies.
--
As the sun rises over Delphi in 500 BCE, Aristonike hurries to the temple of Apollo where a single oracle known as the Pythia communicates Apollo’s will. Reserved only for women, this is the most important job in the city- and one that Aristonike will soon have to take on if city council officials decide she meets their standards. Mark Robinson outlines a day in the life of an Oracle-in-training.

The truth about the Oracle's insight is that her chamber was situated above a sulfer deposit. The fumes would rise into the chamber, and the oracle would breathe them in, causing some hallucinogenic properties. Much of what the Oracle would say would be gibberish, and her interpreters would repeat these insights in more comprehensible Greek.

@abelkoh2723 3 года назад

@goemon9378 3 года назад

@raqueljardim5966 3 года назад

I'm not sure that theory of the sulfer deposit is proven - apparently, the "explanation of a chasm that emitted gas is not seen in the source material until the first century BC. This allusion seems to appear in the later sources, many of which were written by Christians who aimed to dismiss 'pagan' rituals and traditions such as the Oracle." Not saying the Oracle wasn't high on something, though xD

I've seen some people claim it was just "winging it" but this overlooks the craziest part.

The Pythia, however, would speak in perfect hexametrical verse when giving her prophecies. That still blows my mind when I think about it!

I’ve recently been really desiring to see what the ancient world looked like. Ancient Greece is one of the places I want to see. Old Kingdom Egypt, ancient Israel, and Babylon are other places I’d love to see.

A wholesome fun fact: According to Aeschylus, the Titaness Phoebe used to own the Oracle of Delphi. Later, she gifted it to her grandson Apollo as a birthday gift. Best grandma in the world ❤

The idea of consulting an oracle has always been part of human history and continues with us today. We all like guidance and many of us wish someone would tell us what to do. Some people speak to therapists, some turn to more mystical methods and many more turn to friends and family. We all crave guidance and that has never changed and will never change.

Did anyone started liking Greek myths because of reading Percy Jackson, or is it just me?

I have learned in Latin class that some oracles (not sure if it was the Oracle of Delphi) were forced to take in some drugs and through states of forced delirium or epilepsy, they would give their prophecy. Like a lot of women got abused in this profession...

I'm sure Apollo must've helped a lot by sharing his PROPHECIES as they say to the oracles just like I'm sure the spell in Egypt to cure scorpion sting was so effective. Ancient civilisations, am I right?
