History
The name "Pythian Order" derives from the mythology of the Greek God Apollo. Similar to most Greek gods Apollo had many symbols one of which was a bow and arrow. Apollo was tasked to kill Python, the serpent son of Gaia and upon victory was bestowed the moniker Pythian and thus the python, or snake, became one of his many symbols. The uroboros is an ancient symbol that appears in Egyptian, Greek, Norse, Mayan, and Aztec cultures to some extent. This symbol is that of a snake eating its own tail. In Egypt the uroboros was viewed as a sign of "eternal renewal and a reminder" of the future. A very common depiction of the uroboros is in the shape of the infinity symbol.
