Bakis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Bakis was a semi-legendary ancient Greek seer of the 6th or 7th century BC, a native of Boeotia. Bakis was said to have been possessed by nymphs, who gave him the power of prophecy. Apocryphal oracular pronouncements in dactylic hexameter circulated under his name during times of stress, such as the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars.
