See Delphi and Die is a 2005 historical mystery crime novel by Lindsey Davis and the 17th book of the Marcus Didius Falco Mysteries series. Set in Rome and Roman Greece between September and October AD 76, the novel stars Marcus Didius Falco, informer and imperial agent. As with many of the other Falco novels, See Delphi and Die uses a "modern" idea – in this case, the holiday package tour – as a device around which to build the story. The title refers to the deaths which take place at tourist attractions in Ancient Greece, including the sanctuary at Delphi, while paraphrasing Goethe's "See Naples and die", which refers to the grandeur of the capital of the Two Sicilies under the House of Bourbon; it also refers to a quote by one of the characters in the novel, addressed to Falco, as well

dbo:abstract
  • Vidět Delfy a zemřít (2005, See Delphi and Die) je historický detektivní román anglické spisovatelky Lindsey Davisové. Jde o sedmnáctý díl dvacetidílné knižní série, odehrávající se v antickém Římě za vlády císaře Vespasiana. Jejím hlavním hrdinou je soukromý informátor (vlastně soukromý detektiv) Marcus Didius Falco, který je také vypravěčem románu. Název knihy je parafrází výroku Vidět Neapol a zemřít!, který je možno najít v díle Italská cesta od Johanna Wolfganga Getheho. Zároveň jde o otřepané reklamní rčení římských cestovních kanceláří.
