Sibyls

Sibyls were ancient prophetesses in the Greco-Roman world, believed to possess the ability to foresee the future and deliver divine messages. Often associated with specific locations, like the famous Sibyl of Cumae in Italy, they inspired both reverence and intrigue through their enigmatic prophecies. Their writings, known as Sibylline Oracles, combined elements of various religions and often included themes of apocalyptic events and moral guidance. Sibyls played a significant role in the cultural landscape, influencing literature, art, and religious thought throughout history, particularly in early Christianity, where they were sometimes seen as foretelling Christ's coming.
