COMPARATIVE MYTHOLOGY
Notes on the Symbolism of Saturn
Saturn is said, in some mystical astrological systems, to symbolize
the Mesoamerican racial groups. Saturn, or Cronos, in Greek
mythology is said in that mythic tradition, to have devoured his own
children.
Artistically I attempted to indicate the cultures of ancient America in
the above painting, by utilizing pictographic stylization.
