Wordwind may remember that Smintheus (Mouse-killer) was a title of Apollo in the Iliad. Chryseis, the girl all the fuss was over at the beginning of the Iliad, was the daughter of the priest of Apollo Smintheus.
Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Mythology and Biography notes that The mouse was regarded by the ancients as inspired by the vapours arising from the earth, and as the symbol of prophetic power.
