delphic

• adj. （阿波罗）神谕的

1. of or relating to Delphi or to the oracles of Apollo at Delphi;

"Delphic oracle"

2. obscurely prophetic;

"Delphic pronouncements"

"an oracular message"

来自Delphi, 阿波罗神庙，词源同dolphin, 因阿波罗以海豚之形找到此地而得名。德尔斐神谕在古希腊很长时期是极为重要的宗教活动和信仰中心，由一个女祭司在发狂后提供神谕，现代研究初步证明是来自神庙底下散发出的有毒气体使人神经麻痹而导致癫狂，由于神谕的的晦涩难懂，后词义通用化。参照电影《三百勇士》。
