So you love to travel, but you hate packing. We get it. Sometimes it can be quite a hassle – especially when you can’t decide what to stuff into your already-overflowing suitcase and what to reluctantly leave out. Plus, it gets worse when you start to experience that nagging feeling that you’ve forgotten something of absolute importance. Obviously, passports, travel documents and cash are a no-brainer – but to be prepared, take full advantage of the limited space you have.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

If the ancient Greeks hadn’t chosen
Delphi (from Delphis, womb) as their navel of the earth and built the
Sanctuary of Apollo here, someone else would have thought of a good
reason to make this eagle’s nest village a tourist attraction. Its
location on a precipitous cliff edge is spectacular and, despite its
overt commercialism and the constant passage of tour buses through the
modern village, it still has a special feel.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Man’s
desire to know what the future holds is nothing new or out of the
ordinary. In ancient times, the need to know what is to come can be best
exhibited by exploring methods in which the Greeks created to answer
their questions for the future.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This desire was interwoven with the
everyday life of the ancient Greeks, deriving from the numerous oracles
which were built in ancient Greece as well as from stories which show
the confidence that people of that era had in prophecies. Ancient Greeks
used to rely on various forms of oracles to get advice on public and
private affairs. Herodotus mentions in his work at least 18 shrines
having an oracle and 96 missions with only one purpose: to request
advice from an oracle. About 53 of those missions were headed to the
oracle of Delphi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="oracle-of-delphi" height="246" src="http://www.fedriades.com/images/oracle-of-delphi.jpg" style="float: left; font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; margin: 10px;" width="400" />The
prophecy and divination seems to be closely linked with each other.
According to the ancient Greeks, divination, which was also called
augury, was the science of omens and was applied in a variety of ways
such as the interpretation of the way birds were flying. This type of
divination was widespread. The seers paid attention to the direction,
the height as well as the way birds flew. Some of the most important
seers of ancient times referred to in Homer’s work, were Calchas and
Helenus. The ancient Greeks considered dreams very important as they
thought them to be a way in which the gods were giving advice to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beyond the augury, the most formal form
of divination could only be requested at the shrines where they could
find the oracles. There were many such oracles in ancient Greece but the
most famous of all were the oracle of Delphi and the oracle of Dodona.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The oracle of the Delphi dedicated to
Apollo has been known from the 7th century BC and played an important
role, but it is important to note that not every day was favorable to
the request of a prophecy. Besides offering an amount of money to the
oracle, people also had to slaughter a goat. The sibyl or priestess of
the oracle at Delphi was known as the Pythia who sat on a tripod seat,
chewing bay leaves and drinking water from the sacred spring Kassotida.
While in a trance, the Pythia was raving and her words were translated
by the priests of the temple into hexameters. Most of the Pythia’s
oracles were dark and ambiguous and people translated them in any way
that suited them.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Pythia2" src="http://www.fedriades.com/images/Pythia2.jpg" height="187" style="float: left; margin: 10px;" width="400" /><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">“…neither
her face nor hue went untransformed; Her breast heaved; Her wild heart
grew large with... passion. Taller to their eyes, sounding no longer
mortal, she prophesied what was inspired from The God breathing near,
uttering words not to be ignored,” wrote the poet Virgil, in his Aeneid
describing how the Delphian priestess (Pythia) prophecised in a frenzied
state of mind. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The high priestess at the Temple of
Apollo at Delphi, located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus was widely
credited for her prophecies inspired by the ancient Greek god of light,
sun and music. The Oracle of Delphi was established in the 8th-Century
B.C. and the last recorded response was given during 393 A.D. when the
emperor Theodosius I ordered pagan temples to cease operation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During this period the Delphic Oracle
was the most prestigious and authoritative oracle among the Greeks.
Everyone, from rich warlords to common people, would pay enough to get
themselves a prophecy revealing the future and shaping their decisions
and way of life based on the visions of the Pythia, which were delivered
in a trance that most probably resulted from the inhaling of vapors
rising from a chasm in the rock of the adyton (Greek for
“inaccessible”).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ancient Greek historian Plutarch (46-120
A.D.), who presided as high priest at Delphi for several years,
observed in his documents that the Pythia’s oracular powers appeared to
be associated with vapors from the Kerna spring waters that flowed under
the temple. These observations of Plutarch have triggered the interest
of scientists who conducted research over the years to determine the
true origins of the Oracle’s inspiration that brought delirium to the
local priestesses and made them talk in cryptic and rhymed language that
were open to various interpretations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the ancient legend, the
hallucinative vapors were the breath of Python, the enemy of the
Olympian deity Apollo, who slew her and remade her former home and the
oracle his own. The body of the monster was buried deep under the Delphi
Oracle, also considered the Center of the Earth, and with each of the
breaths the Pythia would come one step closer to Apollo’s charisma of
telling the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Excavations based on Plutarch’s remarks
brought a team of French archaeologists directed by Théophile Homolle of
the Collège de France to the site of Delphi in 1892. The French team
focused their research on locating a hole in the ground, interpreting
Plutarch’s observations to the letter, and so they found no fissure and
no possible means for the production of fumes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1904, Adolphe Paul Oppé published an
influential article, which made three crucial claims: no chasm or vapor
ever existed; no natural gas could create prophetic visions; and the
recorded incidents of a priestess undergoing violent and often deadly
reactions was inconsistent with the more customary reports. Oppé
explained away all the ancient testimony as being reports of gullible
travelers fooled by wily local guides who, Oppé believed, invented the
details of a chasm and a vapor in the first place. In accordance with
this definitive statement, scholars Frederick Poulson, E.R. Dodds,
Joseph Fontenrose and Saul Levin all stated that there were no vapors
and no chasm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the decades to follow, scientists
and scholars believed the ancient descriptions of a sacred, inspiring
soul to be fallacious. During 1950, French philhellene Pierre Amandry,
who had worked at Delphi and later directed the French excavations
there, concurred with Oppé’s pronouncements, claiming that gaseous
emissions were not even possible in a volcanic zone such as Delphi.
Neither Oppé nor Amandry were geologists, though, and no geologists had
been involved in the debate until then.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GAS FROM THE PAST</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Subsequent re-examination of the French
excavations, however, has shown that this consensus may have been
mistaken. Broad (2007) demonstrates that a French photograph of the
excavated interior of the temple clearly depicts a springlike pool as
well as a number of small vertical fissures, indicating numerous
pathways by which vapors could enter the base of the temple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the 1980’s, the interdisciplinary
team of geologist Jelle Zeilinga de Boer, archaeologist John R. Hale,
forensic chemist Jeffrey P. Chanton and toxicologist Henry R. Spiller
investigated the site at Delphi using this photograph and other sources
as evidence, as part of a United Nations survey of all active faults in
Greece.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
De Boer saw evidence of a fault line in
Delphi that lay under the ruined temple. During several expeditions,
they discovered two major fault lines, one lying north-south, the Kerna
fault, and the other lying east-west, the Delphic fault, which parallels
the shore of the Corinthian Gulf. The rift of the Gulf of Corinth is
one of the most geologically active sites on Earth; shifts there impose
immense strains on nearby fault lines, such as those below Delphi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The two faults cross one another, and
they intersect right below where the adyton was probably located. (The
actual, original oracle chamber had been destroyed by the moving faults,
but there is strong structural evidence that indicates where it was
most likely located.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They scientists also found evidence for
underground passages and chambers, and drains for spring water.
Additionally, they discovered at the site formations of travertine, a
form of calcite created when water flows through limestone and dissolves
calcium carbonate, which is later redeposited. Further investigation
revealed that deep beneath the Delphi region lies bituminous deposit,
rich in hydrocarbons and full of pitch, that has a petrochemical content
as high as 20%. Friction created by earthquakes heat the bituminous
layers resulting in vaporization of the hydrocarbons which rise to the
surface through small fissures in the rock.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
De Boer’s research caused him to
speculate ethylene as a gas known to possess this sweet odor. Spiller
specified that inhalation of even a small amount of ethylene can cause
both benign trances and euphoric frenzied states. Other effects include
physical detachment, loss of inhibitions, the relieving of pain, and
rapidly changing moods without dulling consciousness. He also noted that
uncontrolled doses can cause confusion, agitation, delirium, and loss
of muscle coordination.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anesthesiologist Isabella Herb found
that a dose of 20% ethylene gas administered to a subject was a
threshold. A dosage higher than 20% caused unconsciousness. With less
than 20% a trance was induced where the subject could sit up, hear
questions and answer them logically, although the tone of their voice
might be altered, their speech pattern could be changed, and they may
have lost some awareness of their hands and feet, (with some it was
possible to have poked a pin or pricked them with a knife and they would
not feel it).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When patients were removed from the area
where the gas accumulated they had no recollection of what had
happened, or what they had said. With a dosage of more than 20% the
patient lost control over the movement of their limbs and may thrash
wildly, groaning in strange voices, losing balance and frequently
repeatedly falling.</div>
