Some Greek mythology art of the Drakainas Python & Delphyne. Sometimes Python & Delphyne are depicted as the same figure, but that always confused me since if the serpent Apollo killed at Delphi how could she also be allied with Typhon when he tried to over throw Zeus?🤔 Then I noticed whenever dragons or monster serpents show up in Greek mythology it's usually in pairs. So I decided to depict them as a mated pair, that helped raised baby Typhon for Gaia. Also it's kind of cute to me that Typhon's clossest allies besides his wife, Echidna, was his dragon/serpent nanny.
