Episode Synopsis

Why is this podcast called The Pythia Podcast? What is a Pythia? Is it a person? A place? A thing? Yes! All of the above..kind of. We are going to look at the myths around the Pythia at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, and the religion that came out of that myth. Also, the Pythia herself, a little bit at least. Because the Pythia was not for herself (yes, it's a she!) she was for the gods. So "she" was nobody. And everybody.
