Why Pythia?
My Reason for Choosing the Oracle of Delphi
Diantha Jones
To be honest, the answer to why I chose to create a series around the Oracle of Delphi is simple: Because no one else did.
Sure, the Oracle makes steady appearances in Greek myth series, but she's never truly been in the spotlight. She's been under-represented, if you ask me. In ancient society, entire ways of living were formed around prophecies and omens. Nothing the Oracle said was taken lightly, as she was a medium for the gods themselves. Ignoring the Oracle would be like ignoring the gods, and no one wanted to find out how the gods reacted to being ignored.
