The Persian Sibyl, Ancient Prophetess

The Persian sibyl. The Persian Sibyl, also known as the Babylonian, Hebrew or Egyptian Sibyl, was the prophetic priestess presiding over the Apollonian oracle. She is said to have foretold the exploits of Alexander the Great of Macedon. The Persian Sibyl has had at least three names: Sambethe, Helrea, and Sabbe. The medieval Byzantine encyclopedia, the Suda, credits the Hebrew Sibyl as the author of the Sibylline oracles, a collection of texts of c. the 2nd to 4th century which were collected in the 6th century. Engraving by P. Fontana (1762-1837) after J. Volpato after Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (1591-1666), best known as Guercino.
