V originále
Článek usiluje o vyhodnocení možného přínosu kognitivní psychologie k pochopení role Pýthie ve věštebném procesu Delfské věštírny.
In English
The article attempts to evaluate a possible contribution of cognitive psychology to our understanding of Pythias role in divinatory procedures taking place in the Delphic Oracle. In previous scholarship there was a deep-rooted tendency to search for a natural substance whose digestion should have caused changes in Pythias mental state. These efforts have recently been revived in the form of a much advertised Ethylene hypothesis, purportedly harmonizing information of ancient sources with scientific knowledge of modern geology. According to the author of this article, the actual merit of this hypothesis remains very problematic. In contrast, it is argued, based on the evaluation of ancient descriptions of Delphic divinatory consultations and a research done in the field of cognitive psychology, that Pythias mental state can be classified as an instance of Patterned Dissociative Identity, which is very often emicly understood as a possession of human mind by spiritual beings.
