Michelangelo's rendering of the Erythraean Sibyl Tarquin the Proud receives the Sibylline books (1912 illustration). According to the Roman tradition, the oldest collection of Sibylline books appears to have been made about the time of Solon and Cyrus at Gergis on Mount Ida in the Troad; it was attributed to the Hellespontine Sibyl and was preserved in the temple of Apollo at Gergis.
