an oracle by definition is(1) a prophecy revealed by a priest or priestess(2)an authorative person who devines the future/a seer(3)a holy place where answers from a particular deity is sought. Greece had such a place and such a person that was called the Oracle and as in the above was where one went for answers to their most serious questions. The Bible uses the greek word logion which translates to oracle and is used to describe the utterances of GOD.

A Greek oracle is a female mortal the Greek people would go to to see what the gods wanted and what would happen in the future. she would sit on a three legged stool then in a bowl would be a special type of leave that the would light and the oracle would sniff the smoke (she would pretty much get high). This would make her hallucinate and give out crazy answers, which the Greeks would follow.
