The English-Latin noun vates is a term for a prophet and a natural philosopher following the Latin term. It is the origin of the English term ovate for an Irish bard. The earliest Latin writers used vts ([wates] to denote "prophets" and soothsayers in general; the word fell into disuse in Latin until it was revived by Virgil. Thus Ovid could describe himself as the vates of Eros (Amores 3.9). * According to the Ancient Greek writers Strabo, Diodorus Siculus, and Poseidonius, the vates () were one of three classes of Celtic priesthood, the other two being the druids and the bards. The Vates had the role of seers and performed sacrifices (in particular administering human sacrifice) under the authority of a druid according to Roman and Christian interpretation. The Celtic word vates is continued by Irish fáith "prophet, seer," and gwawd "scorn, satire, scoff" in Welsh. |
