A monstrous serpent in Greek mythology, and the child of Gaia,
the goddess earth. It was produced from the slime and mud
that was left on the earth by the great flood of Deucalion.
It lived in a cave and guarded the oracle of Delphi on mount
Parnassus.
No man dared to approach the beast and the people asked Apollo
for help. He came down from Mount Olympus with his silver bow
and golden arrows. With using only one arrow he killed the
serpent and claimed the oracle for himself. ... The old name of
Delphi, Pytho, refers to the serpent.
