Python was the land dragon of Delphi in Greek mythology, and presided over the oracle of the area. At that time, the oracle honored the goddess Gaia of Titan.
According to one source, when Zeus slept with the goddess Leto, he impregnated her with the twin gods Artemis and Apollo. However, Hera was so angry at her husband’s infidelity that she told Python to hunt Leto, so that she would not give birth anywhere where the sun shone.
Leto was finally accepted on the newly formed island of Delos, where she gave birth to her twins. When Apollo grew up, he wanted revenge and so pursued the dragon. Python, pursued by Apollo, left Mount Parnassus where he lived and went to the Oracle of Gaia in Delphi. There, Apollo killed the dragon; however, Zeus told him that he needed to redeem himself, as he had committed such a sacrilegious act. Thus, Apollo became the founder of the Pythian Games, in order to purify himself.
