I'd have thought that someone who is posting in a TW fan forum would be familiar with at least some of the Delphic oracles. Such as the one about wooden walls. Or the one about the King falling in battle. Or indeed the one about the crippled King. That's just a few off the top of my head, which generated considerable discussion at the time, so we know the timings of these oracles. And we certainly know how events turned out.
Also, if the bible is indeed a prophetic work for the people of Israel, and the Delphic oracle also a prophetic work of equal accuracy for the Greek people, does this mean the divine power behind the Delphic oracle is no less valid than the divine power behind the biblical prophecies? Does this mean, gasp, that the biblical god is not the only god out there with oracular credibility?
