Päivän kuva : Ouroboros



"The Ouroboros (Greek for "tail-devourer") is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle. It has been used to represent many things over the ages, but it most generally symbolizes ideas of cyclicality, primordial unity, or the vicious circle. The depiction of the serpent is believed to have been inspired the Milky Way, as some ancient texts refer to a serpent of light residing in the heavens."
