Prophecies came from oracles in Greek myth.
The Oracles would predict the future in prophecies. The Greeks used them before going on quests or to war.Hope this helps! :)
The most famous ancient Greek oracle was that of "Delphi".
Apollo was the god of prophecies, but he told his prophecies through the oracle of delphi
In Greek mythology Apollo was attributed as the god of the sun but was also known for variably being the god of music, light, poetry, plague, and oracles.

Many of the oracles in greek mythology were considered to be virgin women. As it is in most cases relating to other cultures with Oracles or seers of their own. However i believe there was one cases where there was a male oracle. Which might have been related to the fact his twin sister was an oracle too. Or as other say, gifted with the second sight.
Greek oracles are said to have had the ability to foresee the future. One of the most known oracles was that of Delphi.
