Abstract
Philological and archaeological evidence indicates Vergil's Sibyl of Cumae in the Aeneid embodies a transition of local divine power, from Juno to Apollo. The Sibyl of Cumae appears to have been associated with Juno before Apollo became established at Cumae. The association is found in names such as Herophile, "dear to Hera," which were known to Varro and Tibullus, as well as in an oracular disc from Cumae.
