About this audiobook
This is one of the favorite books of my childhood, which I devoured during my 'mad about anything Ancient Greek' phase. The protagonist is a young Delphian woman who becomes a pythia. There are the Persian wars, a possibly doomed love affair, and a certain epic, noble awesomeness that was very often present in the books from that era, with its greater freedom of topics, greater role for women and more modern language but a still existing hangover from Victorian times with its Victorian adventure tales and sentimental attitude.
