PROPHECY AND AMBIGUITY: THE ORACULAR ART OF SYBILL TRELAWNEY IN HARRY POTTER IN LIGHT OF ANCIENT GREEK ORACLE TRADITIONS/ Profecia e Ambiguidade: A arte oracular de Sibila Trelawney em 'Harry Potter' a luz das tradicoes dos antigos oraculos gregos

Overview
This article examines the role of oracles in Greek mythology and how the concept is explored in the literary work \"Harry Potter.\" Greek oracles, such as the famous Oracle of Delphi, served as human intermediaries between gods and mortals, offering divine predictions and guidance. The figure of Sybill Trelawney in \"Harry Potter\" reflects that oracular tradition. Initially discredited due to her eccentric nature, her prophecies prove essential to the plot, especially the one concerning the birth of Harry Potter and his confrontation with Voldemort. Trelawney's narrative highlights the ambiguity of prophecies, a trait shared with Greek oracles, which often provide enigmatic responses. This study analyzes the influence of Greek mythology on the representation of the oracle in \"Harry Potter,\" emphasizing the importance of free will and the characters' choices in the face of destiny.
