The Oracle of Delphi: That Which is Hidden

This historical poetic prose short story takes place in mid sixth century BC Greece during the time of Cyrus the Great, the Shah of Persia. It involves mystery and espionage. It is based on actual events as recorded by Herodotus...and it has a few twists.

"The Oracle of Delphi sits alone in a room beneath the Apollo Temple which was built over that holy space, the space where the crevice had opened from beneath the earth to give us that wonderful gift of communion with the sacred gods. There she sits, to guide us all and answer our concerns."

The Oracle was a powerful priestess of Apollo in ancient Greece. She directed the rich and influential by giving them communications from the gods. But her messages could be misinterpreted -- or were they deliberately misleading?

This audiobook is temporarily autonarrated due to time and budget constraints. As a medical student, I hope to narrate my books personally in the future. Thank you for supporting independent authors!

This is my poetic prose prelude which serves as the first chapter to my historical espionage mystery novel with a touch of romance, The Spy of Delphi:That Which is Hidden, which is the first book of my quadrilogy, "Priests and Magi". It was first written and published as an independent poetic prose.
