So in the context of Greek mythology the tripod is a special three legged stool that the oracle of Delphi sat on when she gave her prophecies. The stool itself was sacred. Very important.
And. There’s a myth where Heracles goes to the oracle of Delphi to ask a question of how to atone for something he did and the Oracle is like “I dunno dude figure it out yourself” and Heracles is so mad about this that he steals the tripod and Apollo himself is like “NO NOT MY TRIPOD” and comes down to snatch it back from him.
Now this is one of those myths that isn’t sourced in a lot of places. Pretty much only The Library by pseudo-Apollodorus I think? But we know it was a very popular and well known myth because artists really really liked painting and sculpting it
