Definition of vates in English English dictionary
- A poet or bard who is divinely inspired
The volume is haunted by the death of the vates (poet-prophet) Orpheus, who failed to revive Eurydice from death and was then torn apart by maenads.
- sacer vates
- A divine or sacred poet, or a poet regarded as such
To these attributes of the sacer vates we can add the religious radicalism that prevented both men from making a profession of their vocation.
