The word “wallet” is a translation of the ancient Greek word kibisis. The ancient version of the wallet played a pivotal role in Greek Mythology. The term kibisis was used to describe the sack Perseus used to carry the slain head of the Gorgon Medusa- a mortal turned monster due to her vanity. The Greek god Hermes also used a kibisis to deliver messages from his fellow gods. Today a kibisis, or wallet, still carries valuable items sometimes used to catch dangerous women, or send powerful messages.
