Rock of Sibyl

 

[Dirk Funk]

Who's Sibyl?

 

[Dual]

Not who, what. Sibyls were chthonic prophetesses; there were a number scattered throughout classical myths; the Trojan refugees under Aeneas were lead into Hades by one on their way to found Alba. AFAIK Delphi's Sibyl wasn't associated with Pythia.

The more you know....

 

[curiousa2z]

a surprisingly sere landscape for a zeitgiest that created such rich and diverse dieties.

I was never surprised at the Hebrews' lacking a sense of humour in their diety, but where did the Greeks get such a luxurious pantheon?
