Bagoe

A pythoness (priestess of Delphi in ancient Greece) who is believed to have been the Erithryean sibyl. She is said to have been the first woman to have practiced the diviner's art. She practiced in Tuscany and judged all events by the sound of thunder. Some identify Bagoe with Bigois, another Tuscan sorcerer.
