Now, don't flame me...hey, I'm bumping your thread. ;^)

Not that it will help. With or without chemical enhancement, I'm guessing the Delphic Oracle does not hold a lot of interest from this crowd. No matter.

What I do find amusing is that the writers at SCIAM are so hopelessly liberal that they can not miss making an irrelevent sociological assessment of Ancient Greek culture in the second or third paragraph. Were there existing cultures that were not "mysogynistic" by their terms at that time? I was under there opinion that outside of Greece the favored dating technique was "caveman" (hit 'em over the head with a club and drag 'em away by the hair).

"...so hopelessly liberal that they can not miss making an irrelevant sociological assessment..."

That is the only type of politically correct judgment possible to them, as products of progressive education systems.

Luckily, it is still possible for the enterprising collector to assemble a library of used books that are uncontaminated by modern totalitarian zeal.

One can start with an 11th Edition Britannica and Lord Acton's Cambridge Modern History. Then one can commence adding the accumulating testimonies of Koestler, Orwell, Burnham, dos Passos, Arendt, Solzhenitsyn.....

It's a real shame that public schools have almost extirpated history.
