Phrygian Sibyl

 

Phrygian Sibyl

The Phrygian Sibyl was the priestess presiding over the Apollonian oracle at Phrygia, kingdom in the west central part of the Anatolian highlands, part of modern Turkey.

The word Sibyl comes (via Latin) from the ancient Greek word sibylla, meaning prophetess. There were many Sibyls in the ancient world but the Phrygian Sibyl was in fact a Priestess of Dionysus, and it was the resurrection he offered which she prophesied:
:When the dread trumpet resounds, the deepest earth will yawn
:open,

Kings will be set before the throne of God.

He will deliver the final judgement on the good and the wicked,
:for the latter, fire, for the rest, eternal delights [1].
