中文詞源
python 皮同，蟒，蚺蛇
來自古希臘神話Python,大蛇，地球守護蛇，為地母Gaia之子。因神王宙斯與黑暗女神勒托私通，遭到神母赫拉所妒忌，因此在勒托臨分娩要生下太陽神阿波羅時，赫拉派大蛇皮同追殺勒托，阿波羅出生后，為報此仇，在古希臘德爾斐神廟殺死了皮同，犯了對地母Gaia的大不敬，受到宙斯的懲罰，為此罪愆懺悔贖罪。其名字來源存在爭議，一說是來自Pytho,該詞為Delphi神廟舊稱，可能來自pythein,腐爛，腐敗，詞源同putrid,因大蛇皮同被阿波羅殺死肉身腐爛于此地得名。一說是來自PIE*dheub,深的，地底，詞源同deep,因Delphi神廟在古希臘時期被認為是地球中心，而皮同守護于此。由于神話傳說的久遠，其中邏輯關系比較混亂，莫衷一是。
英文詞源
- 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.
