Exegesis
The phrase hai hepta kephalai hepta ore eisin {αἱ ἑπτὰ κεφαλαὶ ἑπτὰ ὄρη εἰσίν | hai he-ptá ke-pha-lái he-ptá ó-rē ei-sín} equates “the seven heads” with “seven mountains,” establishing symbolic equivalence.
In context — Revelation 17:9
Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated.
