Ouroborus

Ouroborus is the serpent-like dragon who bites it's own tail, forming a circle. It is a symbol that dates back as far as the 17th cnetury BCE, at least. The name 'Ouroborus' means 'devouring its tail' in Greek langauge, although the image of Ouroborus can be found in many cultures, Egyptian, Phoenician, Norse, Indian and Hindu to name a few.

Ouroborus is seen as a symbol of infinity and eternity as it takes the form of the most perfect of geometrical figures, the circle. It forms a complete separation between that which is inside and that which is outside with one continuous line. It is also a symbol of totality, completion and perfection as Ourobous sustains itself by consuming it's own tail, it need for nothing other than itself.

Ouroborus
Ouroborus是一個蛇一樣咬住自己尾巴的龍，這樣就形成了一個圓形。這是一個可以追溯到至少公元前17世紀的符號。'Ouroborus'這個名字的意思是希臘語“咬住自己尾巴”的意思，當然了。Ouroborus這個圖像在很多文明中都可以找到，例如埃及，腓尼基，北歐，印度甚至印度教等。

Ourobous的形象正如他取自最完美的幾何圖形——圓一樣，是被看作無限和永恆的象徵。他形成了一個完整的分割界線——裡和外。他同時也是全體，完成和完善的象徵。正如Ourobous以咬住自己尾巴而維持一樣，他不需要除自己以外的任何東西。
