The Delphic Sibyl was a prophetic figure in ancient Greece, associated with the oracle at Delphi. She was believed to possess the ability to foretell the future and deliver messages from the gods, particularly from Apollo, the god of prophecy. The Sibyl's prophecies were often cryptic and required interpretation by priests. In art and literature, the Delphic Sibyl has been depicted in various forms, symbolizing wisdom and foresight. Her influence extended beyond Greece, inspiring works in the Renaissance and later periods, where she was often portrayed alongside other prophetic figures, such as the Cumaean Sibyl.
