The Night of the Notables

April 25, 2012 (Wednesday)

 

Pythia, oracle of Delphi
Pythia, priestess of Delphi

The “Night of the Notables” is a special school project to highlight outstanding characters in history.  For this project, AMS selected the character of Pythia, priestess and oracle of Delphi, wearing a traditional light blue chiton.

AMS said, “What we will do is on one night, everybody will dress up as a historical character that lived in BCE (Before Common Era).  We will also make a 1 to 2 minute speech about our person and present a tri-fold board.”

The chiton costume was hand-made from an old sheet and assembled with bobby pins.
