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.

Yes; some - though not all - are from Delphi.
In ancient Greek mythology, oracles were often associated with specific locations considered sacred. The most famous oracle was the Oracle of Delphi, situated on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, where the priestess Pythia would deliver prophecies. Other notable oracular sites included the Oracle of Dodona, located in Epirus, and the Oracle of Trophonius in Lebadia. These locations were revered for their connection to the gods and played a significant role in decision-making for individuals and city-states.

The role of the Oracle of Delphi was to give prophecies to asking Greeks.
I'm pretty sure they are called nymphs.

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.
