Etymology
Brizo, in ancient greek Βριζώ / Brizṓ, derives from the verb βρίζω signifiant « to slumber ». Along with the offerings, Lillian Lawler has suggested that a dance done by sailors at Delos was in honour of Brizo. Brizo also granted oracular dreams. to receive prophetic dreams from the goddess, Given the maritime nature of Brizo's cult, it is highly likely that the Delians who experienced oracular dreams were people about to set sail and women whose husbands were lost at sea.
