Oracles and Sybils: Telling the Future in the Past
Paperback
(Jackdaw Pubns Jan. 1, 1997)
What will tomorrow bring? The Greek and Romans were as curious about the future as we are today. The gods spoke and told the future at special sites, called oracles, and through individuals, called Sibyls. This teacher's resource provides a concise account of Michelangelos five Sibyls: Libyan, Cumaean, Delphic, Persian, and Erythraean, as well as a rich background on the evolution of the oracle through time. Reproducible masters include word searches, charts, diagrams, and maps, as well as internet and group activities. Contemporary tie-ins include a student analysis of the Farmers Almanac.
