Sibyl is a kind of prophetess formerly prevalent across the ancient Mediterranean world, sibyl is now loosely used as a synonym for "female seer" or "diviner."
- The term is etymologically linked to the words "Cybele" and "cave," since the Sibyls prophesied from caverns.
- Cumae, located in modern-day Italy, produced the most renowned Sibyl.
