From the town of Delphi where the hotels are, no way could you see Delphinus. But from the Temple of Apollo I’ll bet you could. One problem - It’s closed at night!

I never studied the the origins of the name “Delphi” and despite being an astronomy buff.

Just ordered a copy of “Theogony” from Amazon. Another important book that never popped up on a reading list at Cal.

What the researcher is saying is, that people who were nowhere near Delphi could use this method. :’) But thanks, it’s good to hear from someone who’s been there.
