Sources of Symbols

Classical Greece and Rome

(Important Note: I have only uploaded the glyphs I have used in practice sentences and sample constructions. Therefore, not every glyph indicated on these "source" pages is available on my website at the moment. Instead, you'll probably see a lot of these little guys, , indicating that the image can't be loaded.)

I've always had a special fondness for the classics, so I've probably loaded these Glyphics with more Graeco-Roman symbols than another person would.

Obsolete Technology

Symbolism is rather conservative, so in addition to the masked actors and winged messengers that have survived from ancient myths and customs, Western symbolism continues to use technology that has long been replaced. On state seals, tombstones, diplomas, etc., it's easy to find objects that disappeared from stores quite some time ago.

Gods

Part of my fondness for the classics is a fondness for the Olympian gods, which means that I'm spending way more time devising symbols for the gods than is justified by how often we discuss them. In this regard, it's quite similar to my fascination for dinosaurs.
