The term “tripod” has been employed in literature in many multifaceted ways that reflect its evolution from a practical tool to a rich symbol. In ancient texts, such as Homer's works ([1], [2], [3], [4]), the tripod often appears as a prestigious object—sometimes even a divine instrument, as with the Pythian priestesses who sit upon them to channel prophetic powers ([5], [6], [7]). Philosophical and biographical writings by Diogenes Laertius further underscore its emblematic stature, noting its association with honor and wisdom ([8], [9], [10], [11]). In contrast, modern literature reimagines the tripod in more practical or technological settings: Thomas Hardy uses it to depict a rudimentary hearth apparatus ([12]), while H. G. Wells incorporates it into the design of futuristic fighting machines and as part of dynamic, mechanized structures ([13], [14], [15], [16]). Even in more whimsical or allegorical texts like those of La Fontaine and the Kalevala, the tripod appears as a device symbolizing support, balance, or sanctified space ([17], [18]). Thus, the word “tripod” not only denotes a three-legged stand but also operates as a versatile metaphor bridging the mundane and the mystical across literary traditions.
