THE ORACLE Pythia

Ancient kings and rulers from across the world traveled to the remote mountain town Delphi, Greece, to visit a nameless elderly peasant woman. They made the trek because she alone could see the future, and channeled the voice of god. Her words made world leaders change the course of their lives, but no one ever documented who she really was. Travel with us on location to Delphi, Greece, to reenact an ancient visit to Pythia, the oracle of Delphi. Katie is on location with guest Dimitrios Georgaras, who has been “listening to the harmony” at Delphi for forty years. After a career in the Greek merchant navy, guest Dimitrios Georgaras began creating bronze pieces using the ancient method of sand-casting. He has been “listening to the harmony” at Delphi for forty years, having visited the site and archaeological museum over a thousand times.
