12-18-2007 11:56 p.m. Page 58 home-work study, here is a splicing of a symbolic astrolabe representing the famous Orloj in Prague. The circle is also a metaphor for the Etruscan god Ixion who was crucified on a cross inside a wheel to pay for his sins. The Latin word "crucis" meaning cross, then combining of the two words meaning Ixion's cross or crucifixion.
Quote from Wikipedia
"Zeus ordered Hermes to bind Ixion to a winged fiery wheel that was always spinning;[6] only when Orpheus played his lyre did it stop for a while. Therefore, Ixion is bound to a burning solar wheel for all eternity"
Quote from Wikipedia
"At first mechanical astronomical clocks were influenced by the astrolabe; in many ways they could be seen as clockwork astrolabes designed to produce a continual display of the current position of the sun, stars, and planets."
