This has been mentioned by them in literary works, epics, poems, plays…Greek scholars divided the dream prophesy do 3 types including: dreaming regarding events that will take place in the future; dreaming of symbols, mysterious numbers that need to be deciphered; meet, chat with gods, ghosts of relatives, friends.In particular, the first kind of prophetic dream is cited in volume 1 of the Histories written by the Greek historian Herodotus. In this book, the historian living in the 5th century BC writes regarding King Croesus of Lydia dreaming that his son died from a fatal wound caused by a sharp object.After waking up, King Croesus tried everything to protect his son, not allowing him to come into contact with weapons or sharp objects.

Accordingly, Croesus’ prophetic dream was fulfilled.The kind of prophetic dream of seeing mysterious symbols and numbers that need to be deciphered was also quite common in the literature of the ancient Greeks. Typically, Penelope in Homer’s Odyssey had a “strange” dream. According to the content of the work Odyssey, 50 men went to Penelope’s house to propose to Penelope. Meanwhile, this beauty is still waiting for her husband Odуsseus to return.One day, in a dream, Penelope saw 50 geese killed by an eagle. Later, Odуsseus returned home and killed 50 suitors at his home during his absence. When this happened, it became known that the 50 geese in the prophetic dream refer to 50 suitors to Penelope while the eagle is a metaphor for Odysseus.The last type of prophetic dream is to meet and talk with gods and ghosts of relatives and friends. This case is shown in quite detail in Homer’s Iliad.According to the Iliad, the supreme god Zeus appeared in the dream of King Agamemnon in the form of Nestor – a late friend of the king. In a dream, Zeus told Agamemnon to send his troops into battle once morest the Ƭroy army.Whether prophetic dreams are true or not is still a “conundrum” question that the scientific community has been looking for an answer to. Because the study of this problem faces many difficulties when the research object is not easily accessible, the decoding of dreams is said to take a long time and requires people to have more modern technologies.Invite readers to watch the video: Ancient theater in Greece reopens.
