This page seems to me a little confused. At least, I don't see what the relation is between the tripod (as seat of the oracle) and sacrifice. Is there any evidence of sacrificial performance on or intimately connected with this furniture? It may be that the relationship is clearer with respect to the Chinese tripods, but then ought not these be the main object of the article? As it stands, "sacrificial tripod" strikes me as a misnomer.Benjamin.goodhugh (talk) 10:26, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is a little confused, especially about how the tripod has a much more prevalent non-ritual role, from which the ritual (a better word that sacrificial, given the importance of the item for the oracle at Delphi) role derives. I tried to make that clearer in the intro, but the rest of the article could use some clean up, too. It's also not clear to me why the Chinese material is here, especially when there's mention of a four-legged version. -Eponymous-Archon (talk) 19:09, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
