[edit]Fractional people are somewhat disturbing. Is there a cleverer way to express this:
Even at three or four people per square metre (0.28 or 0.37/sq ft) the risk is low; however at densities of five per square metre (0.46/sq ft) the possibilities for individuals to move become limited, while at higher densities (six to seven per square metre (0.56 to 0.65/sq ft)) individuals become pressed against each other, and can be unable to move of their own volition.

[edit]There are two main methods of Reduction glazing: a single stage entirely within the kiln or a two stage process of using the kiln and an external receptacle. The term "reduction" means that the oxygen content of an oxide is reduced: typically it is the glaze that is affected. The two-stage process in the more obvious: the piece is fired in the kiln but withdrawn while still glowing and plunged deeply into a receptacle of combustible material such as sawdust. The sawdust needs oxygen to burn and does so by taking it from the glaze. To take a simplistic example, copper oxide is 'reduced' to pure copper.

Omphalos
[edit](according to Gemini)
Primary Ancient Sources (with scholarly editions/translations):
[edit]Pausanias, Description of Greece: This 2nd-century CE travel writer explicitly mentions the omphalos at Delphi and describes its appearance (marble, covered in a wool mesh, with gilded eagles). He is a key source for the physical object. Look for scholarly editions with good commentaries. Example: Pausanias, Description of Greece, Book 10 (Phocis), Chapter 16, Section 3.
Pindar, Pythian Odes: Pindar (5th century BCE) refers to Delphi as the "navel of the earth," indicating the concept of the omphalos as the world's center was already established in the Classical period. Aeschylus, Eumenides: Also mentions Delphi as the "navel." Hesiod, Theogony: Contains the myth of Rhea deceiving Cronus with a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, which is often associated with the omphalos. Strabo, Geography: Mentions the "chasm" or "fissure" at Delphi from which the prophetic vapors (pneuma) were believed to arise, and its connection to the oracle.
Scholarly Archaeological and Classical Studies:
[edit]"Delphi's Small “omphalos”; An Enigma" by Jelle Zeilinga de Boer (2007) in Syllecta Classica: This article directly addresses the discovery of an omphalos in 1913, questions about its authenticity, and the debate surrounding it. It also touches on Holland's (1933) hypothesis about the hollow stone and the role of hydrocarbon gases. This would be excellent for addressing the "recent" and "French archaeologists" points by providing specific details and dates. "Omphalos" in Oxford Classical Dictionary: Provides a concise overview of the omphalos, its meaning, various literary references, and archaeological findings. It often includes key scholarly references for further reading. Look for works by: W. Burkert, J. Defradas, H.V. Herrmann, C. Morgan, G. Roux, J.-F. Bommelaer. These are often foundational works in the study of Delphi and Greek religion.
Publications by the École Française d'Athènes (French School at Athens): Since the French were key excavators at Delphi, their official publications are invaluable. Look for their archaeological reports and studies on the Temple of Apollo and its contents. While direct access might require a university library, their published findings are the basis for much modern scholarship. Specific names to look for might include Pierre Amandry for his work on the adyton and the geology of Delphi, although some of his earlier conclusions about gases have been revisited.
Works on Greek Religion and Mythology: Walter Burkert, Greek Religion: A highly respected and comprehensive work that will provide context for the religious significance of the omphalos. Lewis R. Farnell, The Cults of the Greek States: Another classic that delves into specific cult practices.
Books and Articles on Delphi in General: Many archaeological guides and histories of Delphi will have dedicated sections on the omphalos. Example: Guide de Delphes, Le musée (published by the French School at Athens).
Museum and Official Archaeological Site Information:
[edit]Delphi Archaeological Museum: Their official website or any published guides from the museum will provide current information on the omphalos displayed there (which is generally considered a Roman or Hellenistic copy). They will often give the date of discovery and inventory numbers. Example: The Hellenic Ministry of Culture's website (odysseus.culture.gr) provides detailed descriptions of exhibits, including the omphalos.
Improvements
[edit]Be specific with dates: Instead of "recent," state the decade or year of archaeological research.
Name the archaeologists/institutions: "French archaeologists' research" can be replaced with names like "the École Française d'Athènes" and specific scholars if possible (e.g., Jelle Zeilinga de Boer, Pierre Amandry). Distinguish between the concept of the omphalos and the physical artifacts: Clearly state that the idea of Delphi as the world's center is ancient, and that the physical omphalos stones found are likely copies of earlier, lost originals. Cite directly to scholarly works and primary sources: Use the references provided above to add specific page numbers or sections to strengthen the claims made in the article. This is the most important step for improving quality.
By using these sources, you can transform the Wikipedia article into a well-supported and accurate account of the Omphalos of Delphi, differentiating between ancient Greek belief, archaeological evidence, and later interpretations.
