What is a “Greek vapor bath”? In this context it sounds like it would compete with cannabis.
Maybe a reference to something like what got the Oricle of Delphi high? Is it just reference to a regular Greek hot bath?

- leetcrew 7y ago> Maybe a reference to something like what got the Oricle of Delphi high? probably not. contemporary writers connected the oracle's "powers" to vapors rising from the spring below the temple.
