Episode description as stored
<p>For more than a thousand years, Delphi was considered a cultural centre of the ancient world. Every year a throng of pilgrims climbed the slopes of Mount Parnassus to seek the words of Apollo through the famous Oracle of Delphi.</p> <p>Today Tristan Hughes is joined by Michael Scott to uncover Delphi's story, the sanctuary that shaped the ancient Mediterranean. How did the Pythia become the most famous oracle of antiquity? Why did rulers travel from across the Greek world to seek its guidance? And what can Delphi’s temples, monuments and Olympic-like festivals reveal about the power and influence of this extraordinary sacred site?</p> <p>MORE</p><p><strong>Athens vs Persia: The Legend of Themistocles</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000761533679" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/51l6ScUrDvf3gzhpwx21Sg?si=IKhVj9OZQf-dWc9HiQ3aNw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p> <p><strong>Keros: Bronze Age Mystery</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000635549255" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4JJUYbbMGWUBYwpQnXIAO4?si=IpaXXNKHSZ2QCOw4rOElLg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p> <p>We're going on *<strong>TOUR* </strong>to Australia and New Zealand! - grab your tickets <a href="https://fane.com.au/whats-on/an-evening-with-tristan-hughes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>Presented by Tristan Hughes.
