  1. There are not really any goddesses that can predict the future, per se, but there are oracles that can predict the future. The most famous oracle was the oracle of Delphi.


  2. Never heard of a goddess as such, but there were the Oracles, and especially the Oracle of Delphi.

  3. Hecate was the goddess of magic. .

    see oracles of Greece at the source below.  They were not goddesses but could predict the future.

  4. there was none

    though you may be thinking of Apollo

  5. In the earliest writings (Hesiod) Hekate was pure. Later poets changed her into an evil goddess of witchcraft and prophecy.

    Cassandra was a Trojan woman.

    Prophecies came from gods via seers. Primarily from Apollo through oracles.

  6. Cassandra

  7. I don't think there is a Greek goddess that can predict future events.

    Many ancient men and women which are known from the myths had this ability but they were not gods or goddesses.

    Maybe you mean Pythia?

    She was the priestess presiding over the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi and was widely credited with giving prophecies inspired by Apollo, giving her a prominence unusual for a woman in male-dominated ancient Greece.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythia )


  8. Those are oracles, but they're not really considered goddesses. They were actually young women who were forced into drug-induced trances. Although they were often correct in their predictions. The most famous of these is the Oracle of Delphi
