 Mopsus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mopsus— and perhaps a tradition of his heirs, like the Melampodidae, the Iamidae from Olympia or the Eumolpidae at Eleusis— officiated at the altars of Apollo at Klaros; and from his unerring wisdom and discernment gave rise to the proverb, "more certain than Mopsus".
He distinguished himself at the siege of Thebes; but he was held in particular veneration at the court of Amphilochus, at Colophon in Ionia, on the coast of Asia Minor adjacent to Caria.
Amphilochus subsequently having occasion to visit Argos, entrusted the sovereign power to Mopsus, to keep it for him during the space of a year.

 Pagan Gods and Goddess of the Oracle of Mopsus
At the shrine of Amphilochus and Mopsus in Asia Minor, aspirants wrote their questions on wax tablets and slept overnight on a sheep's fleece in the shrine and dreamed the answer to their questions.
The shrine had a duel name because Amphilochus (double ambush) was also a soothsayer and an Epigoni (a son of one of the Seven Against Thebes).
Their funeral pyres were placed so as to keep the souls of the two separate, but their smoke intertwined and the two being thus united anyway, agreed to give joint oracle as dreams from the dead.
