Críticas

"...a fascinating story of Delphi --the place, the oracle, and the philosophical and cultural hub, in a sense, of the ancient Greek (and Roman, to a lesser extent) world. The stories of the various inquiries and responses are very captivating, and those who are interested in the search for the meaning of life by means of inner inquiry: -- 'Know thyself'--will find this book useful." -- Christian Wertenbaker, M.D., Albert Einstein College of Medicine

"A remarkable tour de force, this book signals an entirely new and fresh approach to Western intellectual history and its roots in ancient Greece." -- Jacob Needleman, author of Time and the Soul

"The role of prophecy and the human connection to divine revelation is always of importance. Seeking as we do a viable meeting with the transcendent, this text offers interpretations of the Delphic oracle well beyond mere legend or fanciful myth. ...sensitive, witty, and perceptive." -- Richard G. Geldard, author of The Traveler's Key to Ancient Greece
