The Oracle at Delphi
At the start of the second Persian invasion (Xerxes), the Oracle prophesized, "Though all else shall be taken, Zeus, the all seeing, grants that the wooden wall only shall not fail." Themistocoles (the Athenian leader) luckily guessed the Pythia (priestess and seer of Delphi) meant Athens' navy, not its perimeter wall. The city was abandoned to the Persians, but the Persian forces were soundly defeated in the naval Battle of Salamis, thereby making a prolonged Persian occupation untenable, and the Persians withdrew.

Things did not turn out as well for Croesus, the famously rich king of Lydia. Contemplating a war with the Medes (Cyrus), the Oracle advised that if Croesus went to war then surely a great empire would fall. Encouraged by the prophecy, Croesus prosecuted his war and was routed at Sardis, and his empire collapsed.
