Delphi: Why It Matters? (2011x10)

Exibido em:: Ago 23, 2011

Enthusiastic Cambridge classicist Michael Scott (a bit of a Bear Grylls lookalike) heads to the ancient Greek city of Delphi to explain the important role it played down many centuries of European history. Kings, emperors and other movers and shakers from around the Mediterranean came to Delphi to consult the oracle of the god, Apollo. This made Delphi an information hub that spread news and knowledge far and wide. Happily, quite a bit of that information has been preserved.
