The Double Tongue is a novel by William Golding. It was found in draft form after his death and published posthumously.[1]

Golding's final novel tells the story of the Pythia, the priestess of Apollo at Delphi.[1] Arieka prophesies in the shadowy years of the 1st century BC when the Romans were securing their grip on the tribes and cities of Greece. The plain, unloved daughter of a local grandee, she is rescued from the contempt and neglect of her family by her Delphic role.[2]
