Libyan postage stamp
A Libyan postage stamp from the Italian era that carries an ancient Libyan cultural heritage. It embodies a drawing of the famous Libyan Sibyl holding a huge book drawn by the Italian artist Michelangelo in the sixteenth century. She is called Femno and is considered a legendary character who lived in the Temple of Amun in Siwa and is considered the daughter of Queen Lamia, who lived The Gulf of Sirte, according to ancient Libyan legends. This divination derived its power from the fame and power of the ancient Libyan god Amun, the god of prophecies, whose center was in the Siwa Oasis, and who had wide fame in the ancient world thanks to the famous incident in which the priests of Amun predicted the death and annihilation of the Persian army heading for Siwa. The technicians of this army died as a result of storms and drought in the Sahara Desert
Femno's mother is called Lamia. The legend tells that Lamia was a beautiful queen of Libya. Zeus fell in love with her and Zeus gave her the ability to take out her eyes at will. However, Hera became jealous of her and hated her, so she killed her children. After Hera killed Lamia's sons, the latter, out of revenge, killed the other sons. Which made it a symbol of horror. Greek mothers would hide their children with it and it made its way onto the list of demons in Roman mythology.
