Pythia At Delphi

P ythia at Delphi, a famed Greek oracle Y ielded much wise counsel; that’s a fact historical. T ales are told of famous kings by whom she was employed. H erodotus, when told that a great land would be destroyed I f he crossed a river (which by Pythia was shown), A ttacking Persia, found the land destroyed to be his own! A pollo was the god for whom this female was a mouthpiece T hus Pythia was sought by both the poor and rich of Greece. D istinctively she proved herself to have authority. E mmisaries bore her words back to their kings, for she L oosed Apollo’s prophecies. and Socrates, the great well-read P hilosopher, would store up knowledge, for the oracle had said H e was the wisest man in Greece. That woman could inspire! I n all her world, she was the muse of everyone’s desire. For the Contest: Oracle Sponsored by A Pondering poet ~ Rick Parise
