Description: RAM HEAD SILVER PENDANT Ram's Head Torc Pendant in 925 Sterling Silver - Symbol of Strength,Leadership and Protectiveness - Ancient Greek Motif The ram has always enjoyed favor as a potent symbol because of the animal’s legendary strength and virility (and hence its creative powers), and its characteristics as a leader and protector of his flock. Throughout Greek culture, the ram figures prominently as a metaphor of strength and courage (thus the association with Ares). Accordingly, Homeric heroes are likened to thick-fleeced lambs (Iliad 3.197) In the ancient Near East, and from earliest times throughout the Mediterranean, the ram was associated with powerful divinities and heroic figures, wealth and the elite, and sacrifice. The Ram has played an important role in the religion and mythology of many different cultures. It first appears as symbol in Ancient Egypt, as god Amon was depicted with a ram's head. In Celtic symbolism, it represents fertility and rebirth. The ram's horns are the symbol of the zodiac sign of Aries and even the Greek name of this sign (krios=ram) indicates the correlation between the zodiac sign and the ram. In Greek Mythology, the Golden Fleece ram, a ram with wings helps Phrixus and Helle escape from their father and stepmother and the sacrifice they had planned for him. It's the same ram that is the object of Jason's quest during the Argonautic expedition. A ram’s head might have been worn to show the patronage of, or devotion to, a deity. For a Greek or an Etruscan, a ram’s-head pendant may have been an exotic, “Oriental” magical amulet, a talisman of protection, one that symbolized the power or knowledge of Egypt, the Punic world, or the Near East.
