		These fascinating and successive metamorphoses -- heathen seer born into antique polytheism, knowledge and wisdom keeper, "de-heathenized" diviner revived for monotheistic or millenarian ends -- are tracked here by twenty-one scholars (all but four from France) who presented at a Université de Rennes conference on the subject in October 2001.
