This book explores the Delphic Oracle and the use made of it by the city of Athens, challenging traditional assumptions about Athenian democracy. Accessible and comprehensive in its discussion of the consultations, it is required reading for students of the oracle itself and of Athenian democracy.

Paperback. Zustand: Very good. This book provides an exploration of the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi, where the god Apollo was believed to speak to inquirers through his priestesses. In particular, it examines Athens' use of the oracle c. 500-300 BC. Demonstrating the importance of communication with the gods, and doing their will, in classical Athenian society, Hugh Bowden concludes that ancient Athens was not a secular Westernized democracy as we understand the term today. 249 5.5,"unit":"INCHES"},{"value":0.47,"unit":"INCHES"},{"value":8.5,"unit":"INCHES"}].
