what Oracle is incorrectly written, and should be written as "Oracle" being its meaning:
The word comes from latin oraculum, oraculi, from the verb gold oras orare oravi oratum which means to speak and the suffix - culus /-spec which means medium or instrument or diminutive with which may mean instrument of expression or short answer. It is the response of the Pythia or priestess of a temple to some question raised by some Pilgrim on his future or that of the community. Supposed that the witch was the mediator of the divinity and therefore who answered was the God or goddess, that the temple was dedicated through the words of the Priestess, always, interpreted course, by priests, which were those who delivered the written response. By extension also called Oracle to place or shrine or temple to which came the pilgrims in search of answers about the uncertain future. The ancient Greeks were very given to these practices, believing in fate, i.e. were fatalistic. They believed that the future is already written and the only ones who knew him were the gods. This contributed also the Stoic philosophy.
