I like how the Greeks reconstruct their ancient monuments with original material along with new marbles and try to retain it's aged look. Great restoration in my mind and allow the people of the present to see what people in the past see while reminding it of its ancient history.

The new marble materials are whiter than old, so it's easy to distinguish which stone is old and which one is new. This is done deliberately.

"Ancient Greek religion was transactional." I never knew! And the stack of treasuries, wonderfully explained. Great writing as always.

99.9% of the ancient religions (worldwide) were transactional. The ancient Hebrews being the primary (perhaps only) exception.

I've been there! And just saw your video on the Parthenon (I was there too, once!). I've said it before, but these videos are really just so great. I love how they are mini documentaries, and having two good narrators makes it more interesting than just one. Thanks!

The temple had "Know Thyself" over the entrance.. still applies ... "...man should know his own self and recognize that which leadeth unto loftiness or lowliness, glory or abasement, wealth or poverty." ~ Baha'u'llah

I'd be interested to hear more about the connection between Greek theatre and religion. I did know they were both important aspects of Greek culture, but didn't have the understanding they intersected much.

I wonder if the priestess who received the inspiration spoke in a meaningful way, or if it was more like Christians who speak 'in tongues' and therefore need to be interpreted. So did the priestess herself affect the course of history?

The priestess herself most definitely affected the course of history since numerous occasions of the oracle being bribed, to affect war, politics etc., are well documented..

Lydgate For a primary source I'd say one could find some of these in Herodotus' Histories, there are definitely reports on the matter in there (when he reports on Athenian Alkmeonides family, Kleomenis I of Sparta, Pyseistratos etc.) Plus it's a good read. Other reports are scattered throughout old greek bibliography, but, my apologies friend, impossible for me to tell you now where exactly.

During the Persian wars, Athenians sent a mission to the oracle at Delphi to ask how to be protected from the Persians invading their city. Pythia told them: "Wooden walls". Some thought that they should build wooden walls around the Acropolis and barricade themselves inside. Themistocles, one of the Athenian generals, disagreed and said that what Pythia meant, was to use ships (ancient ships were wooden of course). He was right, the people that fled the city on ships to the adjacent Salamis island were saved, while those at the Acropolis were killed by the Persians. Afterwards, the Salamis naval battle happened, where Greeks crushed the Persian fleet and that was the end of the Persian invasion (there were some additional battles before full Persian retreat, notably the battle at Platea).

Do I understand correctly that the Pythia was a woman of great power, her predictions could ruin or raise city states.

The Pythia was revered though held no direct political power. The oracle would be consulted, her messages were then deciphered and interpreted, and then, based on that interpretation, an action of consequence might be taken by a third party.
