<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">ancient prophet</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for oracle that I've seen before include "Person of great wisdom, as in Delphi of old" , "Divinely-inspired prophecy" , "Where advice or prophecy was sought from the gods in ancient Greece" , "Augur - prediction" , "Place where ancient Greeks consulted gods, as at Delphi" .)
