Sibyl

Sibyl karya Francesco Ubertini, c. 1525

Sibyl adalah wanita yang bangsa Yunani kuno percayai sebagai orakel. Menurut legenda,[1] 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 (/ˈsɪbəl/ atau /ˈsɪbɪl/) datang — melalui kata bahasa Prancis Lama sibile dan kata bahasa Latin sibylla — dari kata bahasa Yunani kuno σίβυλλα (sibulla, plural σίβυλλαι sibullai).[2]
