-THE ISLAND LIFE-
ANCIENT GREEK SYMBOL π¬π·
The Vergina Sun,Panhellenic sun(aka "Vergina Star") is a symbol that was widely used by the Ancient Greeks. Although the Vergina Sun is a Panhellenic symbol, it became famous because of the Macedonians, who use it as a symbol of the Argeadian dynasty in the Kingdom of Macedonia.
The typical Vergina Sun consists of 16 rays. We can also see him with 12 or even 8 rays of the Sun. The Sun with sixteen rays represents the following: The 4 rays represent the 4 elements of nature, EARTH - SEA - FIRE - AIR and the remaining 12 rays represent the 12 Gods of Olympus.
Vergina's Sun, by ownership, symbolizes something virginal. That is why we usually see this ancient Greek symbol, in the virgin goddess Athena. But in several other cases, he can also be identified with the god Apollo.
The Sun of Vergina was a common symbol of ancient Greece and we find it on coins, vases, frescoes and statues, long before the Macedonian kingdom and the Argead dynasty.
Sixteen and Eight Star Suns are featured on Macedonian and Hellenistic coins and shields of the Period. There are also a number of depictions of Athenian Hoplites carrying an identical sixteen-pointed symbol on their armour, from the 6th BC. century, as well as in coins, from insular to mainland Greece, such as in Corfu, a find of the 5th BC. century, Locris, 4th BC century.
The Pythagoreans swore by TETRAKTYS.
TETRAKTYS, means four edges, i.e. the isosceles cross. With the symbolism of TETRAKTYOS, the Pythagoreans codified their knowledge and opinions, for their perceptions of the Universe and the World. As the oath says, there are certain "rhizomes", which constitute (the root) the source of Nature.
These are the 4 elements of which - according to the Greeks - the Universe is made up. These are: FIRE, AIR, OCEAN, EARTH. At each of the four edges of the cross, an element is also placed hierarchically.
With the vertical axis of the cross (FIRE β GAIA) we separate the MALE gods from the FEMALE Goddesses. With the horizontal axis (AER β OCEAN) we divide gods according to HEAVENLY and EARTHLY action.
Then, in each quadrant, we draw 3 rays, one for each God according to what it belongs to. We end up like this, with 12 rays for the gods and 4 for the rhizomes. A total of 16 rays, resulting in the well-known 16-ray sun.
This whole "shape" is surrounded circularly by ETHER which is the 5th rhizome or 5th body, the "circular" as they called it or PENTEUSIA.
