Delphi figure; prophecy (6)
I believe the answer is:
oracle
I believe this is a double definition.
'delphi figure' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'prophecy' is the second definition.
(I know that oracle is a type of prophecy)
(Other definitions for oracle that I've seen before include "One successfully worked" , "Bringer of divine revelation" , "Wise words" , "Source of prophecies" , "Source of information" .)
