DefinitionShort: a supernatural power of divination known as ‘Python’
Glosses: spirit of divination
Comments: For πύθων as part of an idiom, see {D:33.285}.|In most languages there seems to be no reason to borrow the term ‘Python,’ since it may be readily misunderstood. It is both more meaningful and to some extent more accurate to translate ‘a spirit of divination’ or ‘the spirit which caused her to foretell the future’ or ‘… to tell what was going to happen.’
