DELPHIC oracle orated
PITHY prognostications and upheld that the
OMPHALOS in
DELPHI was the center of the world or its
OMBLIGO Spanish for
UMBILICUS
DELPHOS in Greek is
UTERUS or in Latin
UENTER or
VENTER VENTRAL or
ABDOMEN where food is
ABDUCTED or from where babies are
ABORTED
I apologize that Apollo must enter into this
story. His father was ZEUS or DEUS, a DEITY
fond of ZOOS. His mother was LETO. During her
pregnancy, Leto was tormented by the monster
PYTHON. Leto could hardly find a LITER or
currently LITTER, to LAY and DELIVER Apollo
who became the god of LIGHT and known as Helios
Phoebus Sol or also as SaVITA for his VITAlity.
Apollo's first mission was to slay the Python
which he found by becoming a
DOLPHIN and the spot where they met is known as
DELPHOS later the site for
PYTHIAN games and for older women consecrated as
PYTHIAN oracles ...
The links of the words given below are obvious,
UTERUS flows into
WOMAN
WOMB
HYSTERIA
UTERUS and even, perhaps
UTOPIA depending how you interpret the puzzle
left by Thomas More in his idea of UTOPIA as
"no place" which he did not call
EUTOPIA perhaps to underscore that humans are
bound by UTERUS WOMB WOMAN for otherwise humanism
could perish like
ECTOPIC GESTures or GESTations.
More prompted his friend Erasmus to write
"Praise of Folly". The legacy of these two
immortals is worth examining when pondering the
explosion of human populations but without
forgetting that More lost his head for his
ideas.
Exploring further
DELPHI we note the city of
PHILADELPHIA or "brotherly love" as if the same
UTERUS was the home of many but some
WOMEN suffer from
DIDELPHIA and have a
DIDELPHUS or "split" or "double"
UTERUS or
WOMBS which can cause concerns as if this
MATTER of a poorly fused
MATRIX may impinge on
MATERNITY plans so dear to
MOTHERS who have
MATRIMONIAL or
MATRONLY aspirations as
MATES who hope that
MATING will insure that parental genes will
MATERIALIZE in a child to be kept on the family's
MATTRESS or
MAT |
