The Oracle at Delphi

Natalie, with Michael Scott and Alicia Stallings, offers a helpful guide to using the Oracle to get answers to your life's big questions. You'll need cash and a sign from a goat.

'Rockstar mythologist' Natalie Haynes is the best-selling author of Divine Might, Stone Blind, A Thousand Ships and No Friend to This House as well as a reformed comedian who is a little bit obsessive about ancient Greece and Rome.

Prof Michael Scott is Pro-Vice-Chancellor for International affairs and Professor of Classics at the University of Warwick, UK. He is the author of multiple books on Delphi and other ancient Greek and Roman topics, including his most recent Themistocles: The Rise and Fall of Athens's Naval Mastermind, and has presented over 20 documentaries for BBC, ITV, National Geographic and SBS. He is also an honorary citizen of Delphi.

A. E. Stallings (Alicia E. Stallings) is the Oxford Professor of Poetry. She studied Classics at University of Georgia and Oxford, and has published four collections of poetry. She has published three verse translations, Lucretius's The Nature of Things, Hesiod's Works and Days, and an illustrated The Battle Between the Frogs and the Mice.
