Greece: The mythological python. Detail from 'Apollo killing the Python' by Master of the Die (fl. 1530-1560) after Baldassare Tommaso Peruzzi (1481-1537).

In Greek mythology, Python (Greek: ?????, gen.: ???????) was the earth-dragon of Delphi, always represented in Greek sculpture and vase-paintings as a serpent. He presided at the Delphic oracle, which existed in the cult center for his mother, Gaia, 'Earth', Pytho being the place name that was substituted for the earlier Krisa. Hellenes considered the site to be the center of the earth, represented by a stone, the omphalos or navel, which Python guarded.
