	Sibyl Cumaean, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		The Sibyl from Cumae was the guide of Aeneas when he descended to the Underworld.
		There the Sibyl asked for Anchises 1, whom they soon found in a green valley, Aeneas tried several times to put his arms round his father's neck; but souls beneath the earth, whether they are in the dark depths of Hades or in the midst of Elysium's light slip any embrace and withdraw.
		This Sibyl was not a goddess, although she was seven hundred years old when Aeneas met her.

		One of the Cumaean Sibyl's peculiarities, moreover, was that when consulted she would write her predictions on oak leaves and lay them at the edge of her cave, from which they were blown hither and yon by the wind and often confusedly mixed up, making them all but unintelligible to their readers.
		The Cumaean Sibyl, declared one historian, never sat on her tripod to give answers without first swallowing a few drops of the juice of the bay laurel.
		Despite these records, and despite this long tradition of sanctity, the Cumaean Sibyls were considered fantasy until archaeologists proved their actual existence by discovering sticks and stones, tunnels and slabs of quarried rock, and the cave in which each Sibyl had lived at Cumae.

	Anomalos Publishers, Where New Authors Go To Get Published!
		Ironically, Christians since the middle ages have held that the Cumaean Sibyl of Virgil’s Ecologue IV prophesied the birth of Jesus Christ and that it was this arrival of the Savior that gave rise to "the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew," or New Order of the Ages.
		Therefore according to the Sibyl, the New Order of the Ages occurs when a special "son" is born on earth, a new messiah who comes of "a new breed of men sent down from heaven" when "heroes" and "gods" are blended together.
		Patrick Heron believes the pagan Sibyl may actually have pointed to a false Christ who appears during the end times Apocalypse, and that the Novus Ordo Seclorum prophecy of a coming special "son" who leads mankind to a New World Order could be fulfilled anytime.
