And I thought Plato's Cave was Greek
Spencer Wood
It almost seems comical that the Sibyls reside in caves much like Plato's. Especially considering that a greek invented both. however, it's pretty backward considering that they went into the cave to gain wisdom instead of leaving it to access wisdom. But then again, is it backward considering that what they thought was wisdom were just the crazed ramblings of an incredibly high individual.
i wonder what things we do that are just like this. It may jus sound like silly people mumbling conspiracy theories, but it may not have been so different in the ancient time.

Maybe we shouldn’t be taking to book at face value, and we should be discussing a deeper meaning. Or maybe, maybe Virgil is just lazy and imaginative and on drugs and okay you see where I’m going with this.
