Ask the Ancients vs QPTV

Get advice and words of wisdom from Ancient Greek and Roman philosophers, such as Socrates, Plato, Marcus Aurelius, and more! Also learn about the advice given by the Pythia, who was consulted by great leaders and philosophers for centuries. Now you, too, can ask the Pythia of Delphi for her historical words of wisdom. These inscriptions were the same ones used in ancient times! Use the “psephoi” (pottery shards) and receive a random Delphic maxim to reflect on for the day, or get a quote from a specific philosopher that you may be drawn to- you will find Stoics, Cynics, Platonists, and Epicureans among them. Immerse yourself in the ideas of the world from 2,000 years ago- their insights are still relevant. Learn from those who created the philosophies that we study today, and get a better understanding of the philosophical principles that they followed. Travel back in time and Ask the Ancients!
