Omphalos: Difference between revisions

Omphalos is the central point of the world in Greek mythology, believed to be the 'navel' of the world in the form of a round stone.

Mythology[edit | edit source]

In the Greek mythology, the Titan Kronos devoured his children in order to prevent any of them from usurping him. At one instance, his wife Rhea gave him the swaddled Omphalos instead of the baby Zeus.^[1]

The Omphalos was later said to be guarded by the Python, a giant snake. After the god Apollo slew the serpent, claimed its site as his temple within the Sanctuary of Delphi, Omphalos became a part of Delphi. Beneath the temple, in the Sanctuary of Kosmos, was located an artefact, guarded by a gigantic statue of a snake, referencing the story of the Omphalos and the Python.^[2]
