The name ouroboros (or, in Latinized form, uroborus) is Greek ("ουροβóρος") and means "tail-devourer". Ouroboros - Antiquity. The serpent or dragon eating its own tail has survived from antiquity and can be traced back to Ancient Egypt, circa 1600 BC. However the pig dragons of the Hongshan culture (4700–2200 BC) of China are older and may have been transmitted in one way along the Silk Road. From ancient Egypt it passed to Phoenicia and then to the Greek philosophers, who gave it the name Ouroboros ("the tail-devourer"). See also:

House of Leaves - The Minotaur. Throughout the explorations of the Navidson house, an unnevering, low growl seems to follow the explorers. This growl is implicitly associated with the Minotaur of Greek mythology, thus making the house a form of the labyrinth of the Palace of Crete—and Navidson as Theseus, complete with his flares in place of a spool of thread. The growl eventually seems to be revealed as a noise accompanying the destruction of inanimate and dead matter within the Navidson house. T ...
