Before Ariel takes Tales of Olympus completely international next week, we are traveling back in time to visit the absolute bellybutton of the ancient world! In this extra-long episode, we are breaking down the chaotic history of the Pythia—from Apollo’s epic showdown with the giant mountain monster Python, to the bizarre "Great Goat Shiver" ritual required just to get inside the temple. We’ll look at the mind-boggling riddle that completely fooled a super-rich king, dive into the real-life moral of why you should always "Know Thyself," and check out the modern science proving that the temple's hallucinogenic vapors were 100% real. Tune in for divine drama, ancient spy networks, and the big scoop on Ariel's upcoming European travel updates!
