History

In Greek mythology, Python was the earth-dragon of Delphi, represented as a serpent. It presided at the Delphic oracle, which existed in the cult center for its mother, Gaia. Hellenes considered the site to be the center of the earth, represented by a stone (the Omphalos or navel) which Python guarded.

Python became the chthonic enemy of the later Olympian deity Apollo, who slew it and remade its former home and the oracle, the most famous in Classical Greece, as his own.

Devil Survivor 2

"A gigantic, black snake god born from the Greek goddess Gaea with no father.
He has unparalleled prophetic abilities and has protected oracular shrines since days of old. Python is said to have been the guardian of Delphi, site of Delphic oracles. He is sometimes called "the king of the deceitful spirits" and gave prophecies that would only be in his favor, but he never gave prophecies that went against Gaea's will."
