SIBILLIAN MOUNTS

ANCIENLTY THE SILBILLIAN MOUNTS TAKEN THEIR NAME FROM THE SIBILLA, THE SORCERESS OF ROMAN MYTHOLOGY (ALSO PRESENT IN ENEIDE). THE LEGEND SAID THAT HIS CAVERN IS ON THESE MOUNTS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL EAST SIDE OF ITALIC APPENNINO, IN THE HINTERLAND OF THE REGION KNOWN AS MARCHE (THE COAST OF WHOM IS ON THE ADRIATIC SEA).

IN SOME SOURCES FROM THE MIDDLE AGES THE SIBILLIAN MOUNTS WERE SEEN AS OBSCURE PLACES, LIAR OF NECROMANTS, WITCHES, SPRITES, GOBLINS, IMPS, ETC...

BUT SOME OTHER SOURCES TELL US ABOUT THEM AS DISTORTIONS OF PAGAN BELIEFS, CELTIC AND ROMAN
