Omphalos of Pythos at Parnassus
O baetylus within antron adyton of holy Pythia
thrice renowned for having through Rhea
having cheated consecuting Time,
wrapping babe Zeus in swaddling bands
to then give the gruesome ogre Cronus
false gift of stony chew twas doomed
to spit out upon the sacred ground of earth,
thus after he grew old Zeus sent great hunting birds from ends of earth with identical eagle’s speed
Time was unable to bleed to find the apex apogee
of world’s very center, where the distinguished omphalos was finally placed at last to command the timeless thoughts of all from height of depth endless begot the eternal deep of truthful rock.
