Prophecy is the ability to see the future through a variety of means.

Various characters, such as Ella and Rachel Elizabeth Dare, issue prophecies to help predict quests though Ella just memorized many prophecies. Due to a resurrected Python retaking Delphi, Rachel loses her powers as the Oracle of Delphi by the end of the series.
The Trials of Apollo[]
Throughout the series, Apollo was given different prophecies by various oracles such as the Grove of Dodona, Trophonius, Herophile, and the Cumaean Sibyl.
In addition, Georgina is suggested to be a daughter of Apollo and she displays possible prophetic abilities of her own such as recognizing Meg McCaffrey and her connection to Nero despite Meg having no connection to the prophecy that Georgina has received. As well, the young girl displays an affinity for the Oracle of Trophonius.
As stated by Apollo, a majority of the most well known oracles draw the power to see and give prophecies from him. With there only being a few oracles or prophetic sources that draw their powers to make make prophecies independent from him. These being the Grove of Dodona, which drives its prophetic powers from Rhea and the Gray Sisters, who Apollo stated draw their prophetic powers from the sea.
After Apollo kills Python, Rachel Elizabeth Dare's prophetic powers as the Oracle of Delphi are restored.
