Kolophon, Ionia, 190 - 30 B.C.
|Colophon|, |Kolophon,| |Ionia,| |190| |-| || |30| |B.C.|, Apollo's most important attribute is the tripod lebes, a cauldron in a three-legged stand used for religious rituals. The tripod lebes is symbolic of his prophetic powers. At his temple at Delphi, his priestess sat on his tripod chewing laurel leaves and inhaling hallucinating vapors from a fissure in the floor. After she mumbled her prophesy, a male priest would translate it for the supplicant.
