"The children saw the Pythia, or priestess, on the far side of the main hall in a dark corner of the temple. She was sitting on top of a tall golden chair with thin legs and wearing a gold-colored cloak with a rich purple himation cloth overtop of it . . .
A male attendant with a dark beard and wearing a long gray cloak stood next to the priestess. Zammie watched as the priestess stood up and began to whisper into the attendant’s ear. The priestess would shake between whispers, clutching into the air as if trying to catch imaginary flies. She’d lift her hands up to the sky, speak out strange words that no one could understand, and then gather herself again as if she had fallen into a trance. Zammie thought she was on drugs."
