In the ancient Greek religion, an oracle was generally a holy site at which a priest could ask the gods about the future. The most famous oracle was the Oracle at Delphi, where the god Apollo answered questions about the future. It is also common usage to talk about a person as an oracle.
Other pagans examined entrails and other signs to divine the future. This was more of a superstition, somewhat like reading tea-leaves today. This person could be called a diviner.

Was Nostradamus a real person?
A:People can use scientific methods to predict probable events and outcomes, and can extrapolate past events to estimate likely future events, but no one has ever been able simply to prophecy future events. Anyone who claims otherwise is a fake, including Nostradamus. The writings of Nostradamus are couched in such obscure and ambiguous terms that someone can always read into them prophecies of events in our our time, but the same passage can be read by another person as an infallible prophecy of a different event that occurred or will occur at another time or place.
