King or commoner, ancient or modern-man has felt the requirement for trustworthy prophecies per the future. As clever creatures, we humans observe the past, are aware of the present, and are particularly interested in the future. A Chinese proverb aptly asserts : He who could foresee affairs three days in advance would be rich for thousands of years.
Others throughout history have felt helpless because they thought that mystical forces controlled their destiny. The ancient Greeks, says Boteach, were obsessive about the idea that all hope was futile since man could not overcome destined destiny. They felt that the destiny of every person was decided by capricious goddesses. These goddesses, they suspected, decided when a person would die as well as how much trouble and pain he would have to endure throughout his life.
Throughout the ages, millions have tried to peer into the future by consulting what they understood as being divine. Take the ancient Greeks as an example. They had scores of sacred oracles, such as those of Delphi, Delos, and Dodona, where they’d go to inquire of their gods with regard to political or military developments as well as such personal affairs as travel, wedding, and children.
