1. Homer, Iliad, 2.305-2.306, 8.250 (8th cent. BCE - 7th cent. BCE) 2.305. /and we round about a spring were offering to the immortals upon the holy altars hecatombs that bring fulfillment, beneath a fair plane-tree from whence flowed the bright water; then appeared a great portent: a serpent, blood-red on the back, terrible, whom the Olympian himself had sent forth to the light 2.306. /and we round about a spring were offering to the immortals upon the holy altars hecatombs that bring fulfillment, beneath a fair plane-tree from whence flowed the bright water; then appeared a great portent: a serpent, blood-red on the back, terrible, whom the Olympian himself had sent forth to the light 8.250. /even where the Achaeans were wont to offer sacrifice to Zeus from whom all omens come. So they, when they saw that it was from Zeus that the bird was come, leapt the more upon the Trojans and bethought them of battle.Then might no man of the Danaans, for all they were so many, vaunt that he before the son of Tydeus guided his swift horses
2. Homer, Odyssey, 4.584-4.587 (8th cent. BCE - 7th cent. BCE)
3. Aristophanes, Lysistrata, 205 (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE) 205. εὔχρων γε θαἶμα κἀποπυτίζει καλῶς.
4. Euripides, Electra, 171 (5th cent. BCE - 5th cent. BCE) 171. ἀγγέλλει δ' ὅτι νῦν τριταί-
5. Diodorus Siculus, Historical Library, 17.103.7-17.103.8 (1st cent. BCE - 1st cent. BCE) 17.103.7.  An interesting and quite extraordinary event occurred in the case of Ptolemy, which some attributed to divine Providence. He was loved by all because of his character and his kindnesses to all, and he obtained a succour appropriate to his good deeds. The king saw a vision in his sleep. It seemed to him that a snake appeared carrying a plant in its mouth, and showed him its nature and efficacy and the place where it grew. 17.103.8.  When Alexander awoke, he sought out the plant, and grinding it up plastered it on Ptolemy's body. He also prepared an infusion of the plant and gave Ptolemy a drink of it. This restored him to health. Now that the value of the remedy had been demonstrated, all the other wounded received the same therapy and became well. Then Alexander prepared to attack and capture the city of Harmatelia, which was large and strongly fortified, but the inhabitants came to him with suppliant branches and handed themselves over. He spared them any punishment.
6. Plutarch, Alexander The Great, 72.2-72.3 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE) 72.2. Alexander’s grief at this loss knew no bounds. Arrian finds great diversity in the accounts of Alexander’s displays of grief at Hephaestion’s death ( Anab. vii. 14 ). He immediately ordered that the manes and tails of all horses and mules should be shorn in token of mourning and took away the battlements of the cities round about; he also crucified the wretched physician, and put a stop to the sound of flutes and every kind of music in the camp for a long time, until an oracular response from Ammon came bidding him honour Hephaestion as a hero and sacrifice to him. 72.3. Moreover, making war a solace for his grief; he went forth to hunt and track down men, as it were, and overwhelmed the nation of the Cossaeans, slaughtering them all from the youth upwards. This was called an offering to the shade of Hephaestion. Upon a tomb and obsequies for his friend, and upon their embellishments, he purposed to expend ten thousand talents, and wished that the ingenuity and novelty of the construction should surpass the expense. He therefore longed for Stasicrates above all other artists, because in his innovations there was always promise of great magnificence, boldness, and ostentation.

14. Plutarch, Lycurgus, 29.4 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE) 29.4. Apollo answered that the laws which he had established were good, and that the city would continue to be held in highest honour while it kept to the polity of Lycurgus. This oracle Lycurgus wrote down, and sent it to Sparta. But for his own part, he sacrificed again to the god, took affectionate leave of his friends and of his son, and resolved never to release his fellow-citizens from their oath, but of his own accord to put an end to his life where he was. He had reached an age in which life was not yet a burden, and death no longer a terror; when he and his friends, moreover, appeared to be sufficiently prosperous and happy.
15. Plutarch, Marius, 45.3 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)
16. Plutarch, Pericles, 13.8 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE) 13.8. One of its artificers, the most active and zealous of them all, lost his footing and fell from a great height, and lay in a sorry plight, despaired of by the physicians. Pericles was much cast down at this, but the goddess appeared to him in a dream and prescribed a course of treatment for him to use, so that he speedily and easily healed the man. It was in commemoration of this that he set up the bronze statue of Athena Hygieia on the acropolis near the altar of that goddess, which was there before, as they say.
17. Plutarch, Phocion, 9.1 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)
18. Plutarch, Solon, 9.1 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE) 9.1. Others, however, say that the island was not taken in his way, but that Solon first received this oracle from the god at Delphi:— The tutelary heroes of the land where once they lived, with sacred rites Propitiate, whom the Asopian plain now hides in its bosom; There they lie buried with their faces toward the setting sun. Thereupon Solon sailed by night to the island and made sacrifices to the heroes Periphemus and Cychreus.
19. Plutarch, Sulla, 9.4, 37.2-37.3 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)
20. Plutarch, Themistocles, 13.2, 30.1-30.2 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)
21. Plutarch, Theseus, 14.1 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)
22. Plutarch, Timoleon, 8.1-8.3 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE) 8.1. When the fleet was ready, and the soldiers provided with what they needed, the priestesses of Persephone fancied they saw in their dreams that goddess and her mother making ready for a journey, and heard them say that they were going to sail with Timoleon to Sicily. 8.2. Therefore the Corinthians equipped a sacred trireme besides, and named it after the two goddesses. Furthermore, Timoleon himself journeyed to Delphi and sacrificed to the god, and as he descended into the place of the oracle, he received the following sign. 8.3. From the votive offerings suspended there a fillet which had crowns and figures of Victory embroidered upon it slipped away and fell directly upon the head of Timoleon, so that it appeared as if he were being crowned by the god and thus sent forth upon his undertaking.
