The term "sibylline" originates from the Sibylline oracles, a collection of prophecies and warnings attributed to the ancient Greco-Roman prophetesses known as sibyls. These prophecies were consulted for advice and guidance during times of crisis.

What does sibylline mean in greek mythology?

Sibyl means "prophetess" in Greek, from the Greek word σίβυλλα (sibylla).It refers most often to the Sibylline books. The Sibylline Books are not the same as the Sibylline Oracles. The Roman Sibylline Books were quite different in character from the preserved Sibylline Oracles, which typically predict disasters rather than prescribe solutions. Some genuine Sibylline verses are preserved in the Book of Marvels of Phlegon of Tralles (2nd century CE).
