As we begin on part three, a figure representing the early city states submits to a king as the centralization of states grows and the stage is et for the modern world. A figure hoists a flag of nationalism in front of a triumphant column reminiscent of Trajan’s column and showing three myths: The rape of Europa, The sacrifice of Iphigenia and the eagle devouring Prometheus liver, all foreshadow what is to come. In the front an old man with fading laurels falling from his head slumps over a model of the pantheon representing the development and fulfillment of classical humanism abandoned in the mad search for technology and power. He is put to sleep by a woman holding opium poppies. While the figures behind carry on obliviously. A woman rides a sphinx while carousing with satyrs. The sphinx as the symbol of unescapable fate is harnessed by those with the hubris to try to lead her. The babies are deceit, who pulls has his hands on the sphinx and wears a hat with a second face and a serpent, ignorance with a blindfold and asses ears pulls the harness and truth with a hat designed with an eye in it and holding a mirror representing a clear reflection and vision is tied and ridden over. The woman on the sphinx represents idealism and innocence as she is open exposed and looking up and not forward. Her arm is grabbed by discord with snakes for hair and a torch to light the conflagration. The dove of peace escapes from her hand. Two soldiers raise the cannon of war while death hovers above. The cannon is decorated with the figure of mars and figures are tied to the wheels who rise fall and are crushed by the wheel of fortune turning, bringing new people to the top and destroying others. This foreshadows the new order of the world in the next piece. The cannon has a dog sculpted that matches the dogs heads on the soldiers helmets making a three headed dog reminiscent of Cerberus and hades. In the wall are the lines from Yeats: Turning and turning in the widening Gyre, The Falcon cannot hear the Falconer, Things fall apart; the center cannot hold.
