About this listen

For over a thousand years, rulers, generals, and empires trusted a single voice: the Oracle of Delphi. Kings crossed borders because of her words. Wars were launched. Dynasties fell. From King Croesus of Lydia to the legend of Oedipus and the sacrifice of Leonidas at Thermopylae, the prophecies of Delphi shaped the ancient world.

Today, we reopen the case of the Pythia of Delphi—examining whether the ancient Greek oracle was a genuine prophet, a political instrument, or the centerpiece of one of history’s longest-running strategic manipulations.
