It's such a joy to be able to
travel outside the walls of Athens. I must ask the ORACLE. I'm going to DELPHI. There's a
temple there, it belongs to the god Apollo. If you take the right gifts and say the right
words the priestess will tell you the future.
The priestess listens to the god Apollo. She speaks in a
strange language to the priests, then they tell you what she means.
But what shall I ask?
I may ask if Carintha will be happy with her new husband ...
I may ask if Grampus and young Poliphus are safe with their
new friend Alcibiades.
I may ask who will win the chariot races at the games and
have a 'bet' and win a lot of money!
