CE ÎNSEAMNĂ SIBYL ÎN ENGLEZĂ?
sibilă
Sibylaii erau femei oraculare despre care se credea că posedă puteri profetice în Grecia antică. Cele mai vechi Sibyls, "care sunt recunoscute numai prin legende", au profețit la anumite locuri sfinte, sub influența divină a unei zeități, inițial la Delphi și Pessinos a zeităților chthonic. Mai târziu, în antichitate, un număr de sibii sunt atestați în diferite scriitori, în Grecia și Italia, dar și în Levant și Asia Minor. Cuvântul englez Sibyl vine - prin vechiul francez Sibil și latinul Sibylla - de la vechea greacă σιβυλά, Varro a derivat numele de la theobule, dar filologii moderni propun mai mult un Old Italic sau, alternativ, o etimologie semittică.
