Pythian Games
τί δ' ἢν ῥαφανιδωθῇ πιθόμενός σοι τέφρᾳ τε τιλθῇ, ἕξει τινὰ γνώμην λέγειν τὸ μὴ εὐρύπρωκτος εἶναι; → What if he should have a radish shoved up his ass because he trusted you and then have hot ashes rip off his hair? What argument will he be able to offer to prevent himself from having a gaping-anus | but suppose he trusts in your advice and gets a radish rammed right up his arse, and his pubic hairs are burned with red-hot cinders. Will he have some reasoned argument to demonstrate he's not a loose-arsed bugger

The Pythian Games (Greek: Πύθια; also Delphic Games) were one of the four Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece. They were held in honour of Apollo following the quadrennial (quinquennial in the ancient way of numbering) chronology of the Olympic Games, at his sanctuary at Delphi. They were held two years after each Olympic Games, and between each Nemean and Isthmian Games. The Pythian Games were founded sometime in the 6th century BC and featured competitions for art and dance. The art and dance competitions pre-dated the athletic portion of the games, and were said to have been started by Apollo after he killed Python and set up the oracle at Delphi.

Die Pythischen Spiele (griechisch Πύθια Pythia) oder Pythien, auch Delphische Spiele, waren Wettkämpfe, die im antiken Griechenland in Delphi und der nahen Ebene von Krissa zu Ehren des pythischen Apollon gefeiert wurden. Sie gehörten zu den Panhellenischen Spielen. Dem Mythos zufolge soll Apollon sie nach Erlegung des Drachen Python selbst eingesetzt haben. Kleinere Pythien wurden in vielen anderen Städten Kleinasiens und Griechenlands gefeiert.

Les Jeux pythiques, parfois appelés Jeux delphiques, sont les plus importants des Jeux panhelléniques après ceux d'Olympie, dans la Grèce antique. Ils durent une semaine et ont lieu tous les quatre ans.
