Whiter Shade Of Pale: Procol Harum (One of sixteen vestal virgins).... (were they real or mythical?) Shoulda looked it up........

 

 

Vestal Virgins were real. They were dedicated to keeping the sacred fire burning on the altar of the goddess Vesta.

 

I don't know if there were 16 and I refuse to comment on their virginity.

 

I will say I read abut them in Robert Graves' book, I, Claudius. I read the book because of the PBS series based on the book. Might have originally been a BBC series, not sure.

 

In any case it was an awesome series.
