A Temple Wild: Greek Mythology and the Mediterranean Landscape episodes
- Daphne and ApolloIn this episode we discuss the myth of Daphne and Apollo. Daphne, whose name actually means Bay Laurel in Greek (Δάφνη), was a nymph of ancient Greece who, while running from Apollo’s advances, was transformed into a sacred tree of prophecy and ritual cleansing. But it is her connection to Mount Parnassos and the oracular Bee nymphs which is to me the most interesting, as it links her quite intimately, as we will see, with the Pythia — that ancient Oracle of Delphi.DETAILED SHOW NOTEShttps://atemplewild.com/atemplewild/daphne-and-apolloSUPPORT THE SHOWBecome a Monthly Patron: https://atemplewild.com/patronNEVER MISS AN EPISODESubscribe to the newsletter: https://atemplewild.com/subscribe24 min
