… From [Sibyl]According to the Roman scholar Varro of the 1st century BCE, there were ten Sibyls in total in Persia, Libya, Asia Minor, Greece, and Italy. The most famous of these was the Sibylla of Cumae (the oldest Greek colony in Italy) near Naples. She guided Aeneas, the founder of Rome, to the underworld, and also sold a book of prophecies written in hexapod verse to the fifth king of Rome, Tarquinius Priscus, for a very high price. At first, the king refused, sparing the money, but she burned three of the nine volumes and demanded the same amount for the remaining six. When the king refused again, she burned three more volumes, and the king ended up buying the remaining three volumes for the original asking price.
