The Delphic Sybil

The Delphic Sybil was the prophetic figure who supposedly received her information from Gaia. Pausanias claimed that she was “born between man and goddess, daughter of sea monsters and an immortal nymph.” Her powers have been linked to vapors from the Catalian Spring that surrounded her that are believed to have been hallucinogens.
