Attention: This is the episode that started the podcast -- the story of the maxim <i>Know Thysel</i>f, the Prophetess at Delphi, Apollo and the python, Zeus and the omphalos, and the much more ancient Egyptian origins of the injunction.<br /><br />What did it mean to the ancients? Is it still relevant today, or has it cone the way of alchemy and phrenology?
