The Ouroboros is represented as a snake or a dragon that eats its own tail, forming a circle with its body, and has been related to many cultures, but also to alchemy. Ouroboros has been associated with the beginning and closing of events, it also represents the eternal cycle of things.
The Ouroboros could be related to cyclical events that happen and repeat themselves, for example: the seasons, the cycles of the moon, day and night, etc. The Ouroboros reminds us of the myth of Sisyphus, his punishment. Continuing with the mention of Sisyphus, we can also quote Albert Camus, who compared the punishment of Sisyphus with "the absurdity of human life", this philosophy of the "absurd" is in part a cycle and can be related to the Ouroboros, that in Alchemy could be associated with the eternal cycle of destruction and creation, of putrefaction and germination, it would be the "Solve et Coagula", a cycle that repeats itself in many aspects of life.
Although Ouroboros is a cycle, it can also be interpreted as something that complements, it can remind us of Yin and Yang, masculine and feminine, warm and cold. Also, the Ouroboros by representing a circle, the perfect figure.
On the Ouroboros, many opinions and interpretations can be generated, it can be related to Helios, with the myths of Ra and Osiris, with some aspects of Jungian Psychology.
