The ancient Greeks used the stars, animals, and even dreams to know what might happen next. Like when a chicken crosses the road, it’s not just a random event. To them, everything had meaning. They watched the sky for signs in the moon or clouds, they listened to birds, and sometimes they even took a nap to see if the gods were talking to them in their dreams.
Examples
- A girl dreamed of a white bird and knew she was going to win a race.
- A king looked at a chicken’s entrails and decided to marry his enemy's daughter.
