Oracle is a message from a higher power (like a God). Only a specialist can hear the message, and this person (also called an oracle) will pass the message on to priests, who then will interpret it.
And since you are in the Greek section:
I'm afraid the oracle in Delphi disappeared more than 2000 years ago. If you find her, please notify the Greek authorities.

Wikipedia says
An oracle is a person or persons considered to be the source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion; an infallible authority, usually spiritual in nature. It can also be a prediction of the future, from deities, that is spoken through another object or life-form. In the ancient world many sites gained a reputation for the dispensing of oracular wisdom: they too became known as "oracles", as did the oracular utterances themselves, whose very name is derived from the Latin verb orare, to speak.
