Summary
An aged prophetess at Delphi in ancient Greece looks back over her life as the voice of the god Apollo. She has spent sixty years at the mercy of god and priest, and has watched the decay of Delphi's fortunes.… Her reflections on the mysteries of the oracle are matched by her feminine insight into the human frailties of the High Priest, whose intrigues against Rome only bring about disaster. Some strong language and some descriptions of sex. 1995.
