Haurus

Named after Haruspex. In the religion of ancient Rome, a haruspex was a person trained to practise a form of divination called haruspicy, the inspection of the entrails of sacrificed animals, especially the livers of sacrificed sheep and poultry. The reading of omens specifically from the liver is also known by the Greek term hepatoscopy (also hepatomancy). Roman haruspicy was a form of communication with the gods. Rather than strictly predicting future events, this form of Roman divination allowed humans to discern the attitudes of the gods and react in a way that would maintain harmony between the human and divine worlds.

"Farnabius, commenting on the passage, says that the haruspices made an imaginary division of the exta into two parts; the one, called familiaris, they assigned to friendly influences, the other, hostilis, to hostile. According to the appearance of both these parts, they foretold coming events." - Seneca. Tragedies . Translated by Miller, Frank Justus. Loeb Classical Library Volumes.

"The god shows his will in the yet living (“spirat”) entrails, just as he speaks in the cry of birds; to be favourable the entrails must be perfect (“integer”), and every slight imperfection was given some meaning by the “haruspices.”" - THEBAID BOOK 5, TRANSLATED BY J. H. MOZLEY
