As a young virgin with disturbing psychic powers, Arieka was handed over to the service of the shrine by her parents. She has now spent 60 years as the very medium, the torn mouthpiece, of equivocal mantic utterances from the bronze tripod in the sanctuary beneath the temple. Over a lifetime at the mercy of god and priest and people she has watched the decay of Delphi's fortunes and its influence in the world.
