“Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σίβνλλα τί ϴέλεις; respondebat illa: άπο ϴανεΐν ϴέλω.”
—
The Satyricon by Petronius
Translation: I saw with my own eyes the Sibyl at Cumae hanging in her bottle, and when the boys said to her, “Sibyl, what do you want?” she answered, “I want to die.”
