Oracular literature : ウィキペディア英語版 | Oracular literature
Oracular literature, also called orphic or prophetic literature, positions the poet as a medium between humanity and another world, sometimes defined as supernatural or non-human. == Concept ==
The idea is found in many ancient cultures. Among the Celts, for instance, the bard held the king accountable to his sacred vows (''geasa'') to land and people. In Greece, the oracles at Delphi and other sacred sites gave pronouncements in a highly stylized form of prophetic speech. Among indigenous North Americans, spiritual and/or political leaders like The Great Peacemaker used oracular rhetoric to artistic effect in delivering their messages.
