    Delos was the birthplace of Apollo, god, among other things of "prophecy". The Island is associated with several "Odyssic" prophesies and it is believed that there was an Oracle situated there. These ideas were carried forward into the Aenead by Virgil (Book III) "Quem sequimur? Quoue ire iubes? Ubi ponere sedes? Da, pater, augurium atque animis inlabere nostris.’ ("Whom do we follow? Where do you bid us to go? Where to establish our abode? Grant, father, a prophecy to enter even our spirits". The answer, to "Seek your mother of old" was initially wrongly presumed to mean Crete,.... when it should have been Italy!! Only later would the prophecy be fulfilled.

    According to Maya chronicles (e.g., the Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel), Hunac Ceel, ruler of Mayapan, conquered Chichen Itza in the 13th century. Hunac Ceel supposedly prophecized his own rise to power. According to custom at the time, individuals thrown into the Cenote Sagrado were believed to have the power of prophecy if they survived. During one such ceremony, the chronicles state, there were no survivors, so Hunac Ceel leaped into the Cenote Sagrado, and when removed, prophecized his own ascension.
