A 6 page essay examining the roles of the priest in the religion of ancient Greece.

Consulting with a god meant consulting with the oracle ensconced in the most important holy places; the priest associated with the particular site was to interpret the sayings of the oracle, translating them into a language that the more common types could understand.
