Sibylline Prophecy

The Sibylline Prophecy refers to ancient oracular writings attributed to the Sibyls, prophetess figures believed to foresee future events. These texts, especially in Roman times, were consulted by leaders to guide decisions during crises. The prophecy is often associated with warnings or predictions about political upheavals, wars, or natural disasters, serving as a spiritual or mystical compass for rulers. While some see these writings as genuine forewarnings, others view them as poetic or symbolic expressions of societal hopes and fears, blending myth, religion, and politics in the ancient struggle to understand and influence the future.
