Ouroboros and Infinity
“The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. The name originates from within Greek language; οὐρά, meaning “tail” and βόρος (boros) meaning “eating”, thus “he who eats the tail”.
The Ouroboros represents the perpetual cyclic renewal of life, and infinity, the eternal return, and represents the cycle of life, death and rebirth, leading to immortality, as in the phoenix.
It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting before any beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished”
The Ouroboros can be found throughout Greek, Egyptian, Indian, Mexican, and the European Middle Ages, including Celtic and Norse legend.
