Option number 1 (if a regular, traditional publisher picks up your book) can often get you more money and get your book into more hands compared to self-publishing. As a first-time, virtually unknown author, you can expect to get a $5000 advance and 8% of the list price (or at least thatâs what my friends got).
The Oracle at Delphi. Dating back to 1400 BC, the Oracle of Delphi was the most important shrine in all Greece, and in theory all Greeks respected its independence. Built around a sacred spring, Delphi was considered to be the omphalos-the center (literally navel) of the world.
Delphi among the main Greek sanctuaries. The site of Delphi is located in upper central Greece, on multiple plateaux/terraces along the slope of Mount Parnassus, and includes the Sanctuary of Apollo, the site of the ancient Oracle. This semicircular spur is known as Phaedriades, and overlooks the Pleistos Valley.
