The Persian SIBYL, also called the Chaldean or Hebrew Sibyl, or by her proper name Sambetha, was born at the Red Sea. Her father was Berossus and her mother was Erymanthe. She wrote 84 books, and prophesied of Christ countless times. The other Sibyls agreed with her, but everyone says she was the first.

Nicanor, who wrote the Deeds of Alexander the Great, recalled her. See Lactantius, The Divine Institutes, book 1, ch. 6; and Augustine, The City of God, book 18, ch. 23. This prophecy is attributed to this Sibyl:

Behold, O beast, you will be trampled, and a lord will be born on the earth, and the womb of a virgin will be the salvation of the nations, and her feet will be for the health of mankind, and the invisible word will be made plain.

a continuation of Gaultier’s 'les tatouages' s/s 94' collection which björk made a surprise appearance on the runway, bewildering references that included men in skirts, hip-hop denim volumes, joan of arc–style armor, tattoo trompe l’oeil tops and yes, even corsets. a very controversial and bold approach to indian and african tribal nods played a significant role in this fierce outing of models.

"She looked at the pictures again, in the silence of the house. Then she blew her nose loudly and went off to do the packing and other sensible things." "Among the other unwanted baggage that had been heaped on the young Sybil to hamper her progress through life was the injunction to be pleasant to people and say helpful things." "She was large, and she was kind. She hadn't enjoyed school much."

The Delphic SIBYL, born at Delphi, known by her proper name Themis, is said to have lived before the destruction of Troy. They say that Homer included many of her verses in his work.

There are those, whoever, who sometimes believe that Sibyl was her proper name, which spread to the others, as I touched on above, on the Libyan Sibyl. See above on the Persian and Libyan Sibyls.

This prophecy is attributed to her:

Know him as your Lord, who is truly the son of God. Chrysippus also says that she prophesied this: A Prophet is born of a virgin, without his mother’s [matris] (or “her husband’s” [maris]) coitus.
