Sibyl

Sibyl adalah wanita yang bangsa Yunani kuno percayai sebagai orakel. Menurut legenda,Burkert 1985 p 117 sibyl-sibyl awal dinabikan di tempat-tempat suci. Nubuat-nubuat mereka dipengaruhi oleh inspirasi ilahi dari seorang dewa; berawal di Delphi dan Pessinos, dewa-dewa tersebut adalah dewa khthonik. Pada Abad Kuno AKhir, berbagai penulis berupaya untuk membuktikan keberadaan sibyl di Yunani, Italia, Syam, dan Asia Kecil.

Kata sibyl ( atau ) datang — melalui kata bahasa Prancis Lama sibile dan kata bahasa Latin sibylla — dari kata bahasa Yunani kuno σίβυλλα (sibulla, plural σίβυλλαι sibullai).

 Pencitraan sibyl modern 
 A sardonic sequence of 'Twelve Sibyls', accompanied by the artist Leonard Baskin's woodcuts, revisits Sibyls and Others (1980). Ruth Fainlight has written dozens of poems about these ambiguous figures, bridging religion, classical and Biblical settings, femininity and modernity. One of them concludes: 'I am no more conscious of the prophecies / than I can understand the language of birds /…let the simple folk praise you, / keep you safe as a caged bird, / and call you a sibyl'.

 T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land is prefaced by a quote from Petronius' Satyricon (1st century AD) The passage translates roughly as "I saw with my own eyes the Sibyl at Cumae hanging in a jar, and when the boys said to her 'Sibyl, what do you want?' that one replied 'I want to die'.

 Sibyl is the oracular protagonist in an independent movie, currently in pre-production (2014). She foresees the destruction of the Colosseum as a plane full of nuclear waste is returned to its rightful owners, but can she prevent it from happening?
