The word "Delphic", in addition to meaning "pertaining to Delphi", also
means "obscure in meaning; ambiguous; oracular".
(Besides, it wasn't just the laurel leaves that the Pythia consumed that

before every oracle had, in the long term at least, at least as much
influence because of the heavy metals it contained)
