python 皮同，蟒，蚺蛇
来自古希腊神话Python,大蛇，地球守护蛇，为地母Gaia之子。因神王宙斯与黑暗女神勒托私通，遭到神母赫拉所妒忌，因此在勒托临分娩要生下太阳神阿波罗时，赫拉派大蛇皮同追杀勒托，阿波罗出生后，为报此仇，在古希腊德尔斐神庙杀死了皮同，犯了对地母Gaia的大不敬，受到宙斯的惩罚，为此罪愆忏悔赎罪。其名字来源存在争议，一说是来自Pytho,该词为Delphi神庙旧称，可能来自pythein,腐烂，腐败，词源同putrid,因大蛇皮同被阿波罗杀死肉身腐烂于此地得名。一说是来自PIE*dheub,深的，地底，词源同deep,因Delphi神庙在古希腊时期被认为是地球中心，而皮同守护于此。由于神话传说的久远，其中逻辑关系比较混乱，莫衷一是。
英文词源
- python
- python: [19] The original Python was a fabulous serpent said to have been hatched from the mud of Deucalion’s flood (Deucalion was the Greek counterpart of Noah) and slain by Apollo near Delphi in ancient Greece. Its name, in Greek Pūthōn, may be related to Pūthó, an old name for Delphi; and that in turn, it has been speculated, may derive from púthein ‘rot’, as the serpent supposedly rotted there after its demise.
Female soothsayers served at the Delphi oracle, and English adopted pythoness [14] as a general term for such ancient priestesses; and the four-yearly athletic contests held at Delphi in honour of Apollo were known as the Pythian Games (they were second in importance only to the Olympic Games). The scientific application of the name python to a genus of large Old World constricting snakes (now its most familiar role) dates from the 1830s.
Then, in the late 1960s, a chance decision brought python a more left-field career move: after considering and rejecting several alternatives, a group of young comic writer-performers called their new surreally humorous BBC television series Monty Python’s Flying Circus (1969–74), and by the mid-1970s Pythonesque was being used generically to suggest surreality or absurdity. - python (n.)
- 1580s, fabled serpent, slain by Apollo near Delphi, from Latin Python, from Greek Python "serpent slain by Apollo," probably related to Pytho, the old name of Delphi, perhaps itself related to pythein "to rot," or from PIE *dhubh-(o)n-, from *dheub- "hollow, deep, bottom, depths," and used in reference to the monsters who inhabit them. Zoological application to large non-venomous snakes of the tropics is from 1836, originally in French.
