Symbolically important in ancient cultures, from Egypt, to India, to Greek and Roman and even Norse cultures, the motif of the serpent devouring its own tail, or ouroboros, represents the eternal cycles of nature, life and rebirth, and the unity of opposing forces. In modern times, it has also served to signify sustainability.
