The Forgotten Oracles of Delphi
Socrates' Fame and Aphrodite's Frenzy
A Presentation by Dr. Julia Kindt
Presented
by the Greek Festival of Sydney in conjunction with Sydney University Museums
and Society of Mediterranean Archaeology. Meet the priestess Pythia and her prophecies on an imaginary trip to Delphi and its famous oracular institution. Together we will join the ranks of those who consult the oracle. After gaining admission to the temple we will test the Pythia's predictive capabilities.
A look at the different types of responses allegedly delivered at the oracle finally reveals that Delphi has much more to offer than the widely-known political oracles: the Pythia is also an expert in matters of career development, mulled wine and even lovesickness.
