There were several cult centres where there was an oracle, which performed for a price. The most important oracle was at Delphi. The oracles were usually couched in poetry which was vague and open to more than one meaning. Creosus king of Lydia asked what would happen if he attacked the Persian empire. Oracle: You will destroy a great empire. He attacked, lost and when he complained, the answer was that it was his empire which would be destroyed. When Alexander took the oracle, the priestess said it was her day off. He dragged her to the cave and she said, unable to resist, You are invincible my son. He quickly said I accept the oracle. Delphi must have been a severely underpopulated town, as it had spies spread around in all sorts of cities getting early warning of upcoming requests for oracles, acquiring intelligence on developing situations, getting the opinions of interested parties, and accepting bribes for favourable opinions from adversaries.
