The word "Delphic", in addition to meaning "pertaining to Delphi", also means "obscure in meaning; ambiguous; oracular". (Besides, it wasn't just the laurel leaves that the Pythia consumed that made her say what she did; the hot spring water from which she drank before every oracle had, in the long term at least, at least as much influence because of the heavy metals it contained) ====================================== Tom Wier <artabanos@...> ICQ#: 4315704 AIM: trwier "Cogito ergo sum, sed credo ergo ero." ======================================
