Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Een persoon, meestal in de hoedanigheid van een priester(es), die uitspraken doet die ingegeven zijn door zijn of haar godheid. Dit was vooral gebruikelijk in de oudheid al dan niet in een specifieke heilige plaats. De uitspraken van het orakel dienen als een richtlijn voor de vragende partij. |
