What did the ancient Greeks call soothsayers and prophets a long time ago?

The ancient Greeks always thought that mantis had supernatural and mysterious power similar to religion, and regarded it as a "prophet", "prophet", "believer" and "fortune teller".

The ancient Greeks also believed that livestock would be poisoned to death if they ate mantis, and people would be blind if they ate mantis's brown saliva. Later, whether in English, German or French, the word "mantis" has a strong religious meaning.

From a scientific or complex point of view:

Of course, mantis is not an angel of God. Instead, it is a famous tyrant in the insect world, a wolf in insect skin. Those two front feet are equipped with sharp broadswords, which are enough to scare off locusts, cicadas, spiders, flies, mosquitoes and other insects. In the countryside, I once saw a big mantis-China big knife mantis preying on a locust.

At that time, locusts were wolfing down rice leaves, while mantis crept close to locusts, and finally pounced on locusts with lightning speed, and two broadswords caught them. Then, it ate the locust bite by bite, leaving only a pair of withered wings.
