"Oh, yeah. A lot of prophecies come in poetry --sonnets, terza rima, I even gave a couple in haiku a few times. Some oracles do other things, too, though; it's really up to them. The oracle of Erythrea likes to give hers out in word puzzles these days. They don't have to be, of course; my brother Ares gave one once and it was just completely to the point." He makes a face. "Sort of defeats the vagueness of prophecies in my opinion; but what do I know, I'm only the god of them."
