From figures such as Erythaean to Tiburtine Sibyls, humans have always been fascinated with the role of the female oracle. In *Sibyls* , Guillermo charts the history of these women and their prophetic writings, examining why they have garnered so much attention and respect. The first of its kind, *Sibyls* offers a unique insight into pagan iconography and an absobing discussion of human prophecy.
