[edit] Comments
Omphalos is also the title of an intriguing and controversial mid-19th c. book by Philip Henry Gosse -- see http://www.roizen.com/ron/omph.htm .
Ron Roizen Wallace, Idaho
"The Sirius mystery" by Robert Temple ISBN 0 09 925744 0 has a complete different view of the matter.
[edit] Cleanup needed
This clearly needs to be either converted to a disambiguation page, or made into an article on the "main meaning" with a cross-reference to a new disambiguation page. Michael Hardy 02:06, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Omphalos in blogosphere
After an unofficial poll conducted via his blog, John Tierney of the New York Times announced that the hexagonal polar cloud formation seen on Saturn by the space probe Cassini-Huygens, would be known as Omphalos.
[edit] Pythia
According to the article on Pythia, it's a person, not a place. So the first sentence of the Delphi section makes no sense. Shouldn't it just be: "Most accounts locate the Omphalos in the adyton of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi."? If "Pythia" is another name for the Temple of Apollo, then it should be mentioned in Pythia, Pythia (disambiguation), or Temple of Apollo (Delphi).--71.105.219.2 (talk) 07:18, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Relevance of Warhammer?
I can see the connection with the references in Ulysses and Indiana Jones, but it is plain that the Warhammer Omphalos Daemon thing has no connection to the actual Omphalos other than name. Should it really be here? Sheavsey33 (talk) 05:44, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
