Sometimes it is said that the Titaness Themis had the shrine before him, and this, as well as the killing of the Python, suggests that Apollo took over a place already of religious significance, associated with chthonic (i.e., earth) powers. en 2000 Otar Lordkipanidze Phasis: The River and City in Colchis http://books.google.com/books?id=-kni1HDk3f4C&pg=PA70&dq=%22Python%22+apollo+OR+mythology+-%22Pythons%22+-computer+-computing+-programming+-sql+-database+-language+-application&hl=en&ei=xv9_TpeePIjKmAXOwPiiBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCsQ6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=%22Python%22%20apollo%20OR%20mythology%20-%22Pythons%22%20-computer%20-computing%20-programming%20-sql%20-database%20-language%20-application&f=false 70 It would seem, therefore, that what we have on the Phasian phiale is the Python coiled round the omphalos.Paintings on Greek pottery and coins have preserved many an example of gods seated on an omphalos, including those of Apollo, Nike, Asclepius and others.413 Python on the omphalos must have carried some symbolic meaning. en 2005 M.
