Delphie
When Apollo was only four days old, he got revenge by killing the monster Python, who was sent by Hera to kill his mother. Python was one of the offspring of Gaea and issued revelations through a fissure in the rock at Delphie, named after his mate Dellphyne. The pricesstess called Pythia would interupt these utterances, and give cryptic answers to any questions asked.
Themis, a titaness, fed Apollo on nectar and ambrosia and on the fourth day of his birth Apollo called for bows and arrows, which were at once provided him by Hephaestus. He came upon the beast at Parnassus and managed to wound it with his arrows, then followed it to Delphi, where he killed the Python in his shrine. By slaying the monster, he captured Delphi, even though he had to do penace in the region of Thessaly for the killing. Twice Zeus forced Apollo to be the slave of a mortal man to pay for his crime.
