A Pythia (the highest standing for a priestess, women only) would enter in an ecstasic state where she would utter the words revelated to her
So what I remember is more or less what it is in a nutshell then, as far as the usage of the word is concerned outside the Ancient Greek context at least.

In the Ancient Greek context of the word, I suppose the Pythia would be the Listener conveying to the other priests, while the other priests would be Speakers then?

Im not, in fact it was impressive an oracle should be able to even predict where I will post next.

Predict it, believe me, you will always be correct.
lol at that point, that would be in the realm of seers, those that claim to see the future... and not some vague revelation/insight heard from a network of madness connected to some ancient god-like entity or some other variation that you prefer.

My, gosh! Who would have guessed that this word would lead to this whole discussion? :dogkek:

The Pythia would be like a death metal singer on drugs and the other priests would make it intelligible for the rest, but the priests also ask her the questions that are prepared for that day.
