The text tries to imitate both ancient Egyptian and ancient Greek poetry. Hierophile (in the text) is an ancient oracle thus her narration has elements of ancient poetry. Moreover, the text tries to keep a continuous flow (e.g. From Homeric and Pindaric to Shelley and Hölderlin). A torch is moving from poet to poet. In this way it is ambitious but what it tries to imply is simple: out heritage is gained with much effort; the work of many, the work of different eras. The destruction of the world is also a negation of the symbolic; a negation of the humanistic heritage and a negation of life as a gift/a miracle to be respected. The world starts to isolate itself (wrapping up, coiling inside) due to the inability of accessing/interpreting our nature. But nothing has been lost, there is still time to uplift ourselves and gain a new era and a new interpretation by revitalizing and filtering our ancient wisdom through/via our contemporary knowledge. 'Rational and irrational' (in the text are sides of the same coin not as antithesis but as a union in fusion, there is no clear-cut criteria on what we can define as rational or irrational) are falling on each other asking for a harmonious re-framing. It is a fantasy novel with all the cliche (heroes fighting for saving the world, journeys in the unknown, destruction etc.) Moreover, each spiral is also a new gaming platform (a new vista) the protagonists are passing through vistas until their memory recovers; when they gain their memory, things move to the disclosure.
