The Triskelion and Sicily

[Daemontech [NG]]

For those who don't know, a symbol very similar to the Triskelion is the central focus in the flag of Sicily:

I knew that the symbol, which we Italians call "Trinacria", had Ancient origins but I didn't expect it could be so important.

Obviously, if you look into other mainstream sources they give this symbol a whole different and more materialistic meaning.
Supposedly, the head is Medusa's, and the wheat was added in Roman times to simbolyze Sicily's fertility as a huge source of wheat for the Roman Empire.

I also just now notice the lack of wings at the feet, which basically removes the Hermes symbolism.

Just thought it was interesting to point out.

Portrayals of the Gods do exist in most cultures, and it is common that they are watered down. Good find.

The Isle of Man too has a Triskelion-like symbol.
