WHAT ARE SORTES
An ancient word for fate and fortune
In the age of heroes the warriors drew lots (κλῆροι) from brazen helms to reveal who the gods had determined to glory
In our general weakness and lacking an arena (ἀγών) in which to display our virtue we resort to this prophecy by means of books (βιβλιομαντεία)
Cast lots and show Homer an oracle true!
