Hello Precious Oraclies!
Thank you for checking back! Just a quick recap, Oracles are people (sort of like Physics) that told the Greeks advice from the Gods. One of my questions was, who used the oracles and why? Mostly Greeks used the oracle (duh) Since the Greeks where obsessed with their gods, they wouldn't make a decision without the gods' approval. That's where the Oracles come in. The Oracles were basically the voice of the gods. So, the Greeks went to the Oracles to get the advice they needed. Many people went to the city that the Oracle was in, like Delphi. One example of Delphi's great advice was in the Persian Wars. The army general asked Pythia for his next play. Pythia said that wooden walls would work. This move ended up helping Greece win. The Greeks were soooo happy they created the Pythian Games, which eventually ended up to be the Olympics! To have your answer, or to even ask a question, you couldn't just show up, like the Physic Hotline, you had to wait around and make your way to the Oracle.
