The Oracle of Delphi was the thirty-third Bernice Summerfield audio story released by Big Finish Productions. It was the fifth story of the seventh season.
Publisher's summary
430 BCE. Greece is in turmoil: Athens is at war with the Spartans, the Athenian women possessed by a horrifying cult... and then Bernice Summerfield strolls into town.
Benny's on a desperate mission to save the Braxiatel Collection, millennia in the future. But she's only gone and lost her husband - last seen skinny-dipping somewhere near Delphi.
She needs help, and it comes in the shape of a talkative bloke called Socrates.
Together they must find Jason, survive the fate awaiting Athens and ensure that the future is saved. But divine powers are at work in Ancient Greece. Powers the archaeological record neglected to mention...
The Oracle will see you now.
