Eino had heard of a very popular oracle but he didn't know too much about it. "I have heard of the Pee-Thee-Ah." With his arm raised, he pronounced it very carefully and very awkwardly, and his Finnish accent actually took effect when he did so, which was very rare. "Also known as the Oracle of Delphi," that second one was easier to pronounce, he thought, "which were prophecies." Divination didn't sound too bad after all, so long as they discussed such things as historical importances of Divination and not drink tea to read tea leaves he would enjoy the class. Two categories? Eino knew of one type of Divination but didn't know if it would answer the Professor's question. Raising his hand he said, "Is Cleromancy one of them, Professor?"

"Not entirely, but take a point for showing the opposite side of the argument," she said. "That is definitely one view of Divination, however, and comes into being when people misuse it." And that was what everyone else had to fight against. The frauds who abused divination for monetary or entertainment purposes. "The Greeks looked to their gods for much more than just divinatory help, but yes. In its own way, I would say their practices were accurate. Have you ever heard any of the predictions received from the ancient Greek oracles?," she asked, before moving on. They could go back to that later. Moving the discussion along, she looked out at the classroom as a whole yet again. "Now that we've gotten a basic idea of what Divination is, I'd like to see if anyone knows the answer to this. Ancient peoples generally separated Divination into at least two types. Each encompassing many forms within, but can anyone give me those classifications?" Or anything even close. She knew what she was after, but there was the possibility the texts gave slightly different information, not to mention she didn't know what all the students might have read beyond the textbook.
