'Listen to the Sibyl' revitalises reflection on the Sibylline Oracles with updated scholarship from diverse academic disciplines and reassesses their place within ancient Mediterranean literature. Chapters examine the Sibylline Oracles in overlapping contexts--Jewish, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Christian. Overall, the volume demonstrates that the Sibylline Oracles are as integral to the history of ancient Judaism as they are to the study of Greek literature, that they deserve a central place within the study of ancient Rome and Ptolemaic Egypt, and that their influence extends through the history of Christianity, illuminating the commitments and contestations of early modern humanist scholars.
