Sibyl, prophetess in greek legend and literature
Tradition represented her as a woman of prodigious old age uttering predictions in ecstatic frenzy, but she was always a figure of the mythical past, and her prophecies, in greek hexameters, were handed down in writing.
The meaning of sibyl is any of several prophetesses usually accepted as 10 in number and credited to widely separate parts of the ancient world (such as babylonia, egypt, greece, and italy). She was probably etruscan in origin and became one of the most legendary women of ancient etruria. The sibyl, a figure rooted deeply in roman mythology, represents a bridge between the mortal world and the divine Defined as a prophetess or oracle, the sibyl was believed to have the ability to foretell the future and impart wisdom from the gods.
