#2: Initial revision
In my story the protagonist hears, in a temple ceremony, the reading of a religious/mythological text. Now in the actual story, I don't need the text itself (the role of the text in context, and the protagonist's reaction to it are the important points), but since I've seen the tag challenge, I thought I'd ask about how to write it anyway (and after all, having an actual text of that myth might come handy at times). Basically the text describes how an ancient ruler asked the oracle, but because the sacrifice is not valid, the oracle gives a false answer. But the point is, it's a religious text, not just a story told for entertainment. So what would be the major points in writing a text that it comes over not as a random story, but as a decidedly religious text?
