Aelian:
1.
Mice are among the animals most gifted with prescience [μαντικώτατοι], it appears. When a house is old and on the verge of collapse, they are the first to notice. They leave their holes and their former haunts, running as fast as they can, and make a home elsewhere.

[Varia Historia I 11]


2.
When a house is on the verge of ruin the mice in it, and the martens also, forestall its collapse and emigrate. This, you know, is what they say happened at Helice (1), for when the people of Helice treated so impiously the Ionains who had come to them, and murdered them at their altar, then it was (in the words of Homer (2)) that “the gods showed forth wonders among them [τοῖσιν δὲ θεοὶ τέραα προὔφαινον].” For five days before Helice disappeared all the mice and martens and snakes and centipedes and beetles and every other creature of that kind in the town left in an body by the road that leads to Cerynea. And the people of Helice seeing this happening were filled with amazement, but were unable to guess the reason. But after the aforesaid creatures had departed, an earthquake occurred in the night; the town collapsed; an immense wave poured over it, and Helice disappeared, while ten Lacedaemonian vessels which happened to be at anchor close by were destroyed together with the city I speak of.

[On Animals XI 19]

(1) Helike, Stadt in Achaia; das geschilderte Erdbeben hat 373 v.u.Z. stattgefunden.
(2) Odyssee XII 394
