Author: Lewis, Neville,
Title: Delphi and the Sacred Way.
Description: Liverpool, England, Michael Haag, (1987). VG PB. Unique history and guide describes the route followed anciently by the Thyiqads, the procession of young women from Athens who. every two years went to join the Dionysian revels on Parnassos, a route known to Apollo, Heracles, Oedipus and Alexander. Today tourists roar along it in coaches for day trips to Delphi, but the old roads and tracks still wander through an unchanged land roamed by Sarakatsani shepherds, the last nomads of Europe.
