Amphiaraus
A famous soothsayer of ancient times, who hid himself so that he might not have to go to the war of Thebes, because he had foreseen that he should die there. This, indeed happened, but he came to life again. A temple was raised to him in Attica, near a sacred fountain by which he had left Hades. He healed the sick by showing them in a dream the remedies they must use. He also founded many oracles. After sacrifice, those who consulted the oracle slept under a sheep skin, and dreamed a dream which usually found plenty of interpreters after the event. Amphiaraus himself was an adept in the art of explaining dreams. Some prophecies in verse, which are no longer extant, are attributed to him.
