You climb into a leather-upholstered car at dawn and the city slips away—olive groves and limestone hills rolling past as the driver threads quiet roads toward Mount Parnassus. By midmorning the ruins of Delphi appear on a slope, marbled columns and the hollowed theater where wind still seems to whisper prophecies.
