neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Greek men often consulted the help of an <u><em>oracle</em></u> when trying to understand the wishes of a god or goddess.

Explanation:

An oracle is a priest or priestess who would be the medium through which ancient Greeks communicate with their gods and goddesses. These oracles are like the priests of modern days who would act as the intermediary between men and gods.

Oracles are a huge part of Greek society and life. Kings would consult with such oracles for each and every endeavor, be it war or marriage or business plans. One such oracle was the Oracle of Delphi, of the Delphi temple.
