	Symplegades
		The Symplegades are the "Clashing Rocks" through which the Argo had to pass in order to enter the Hellespont.
		Jason and his Argonauts then rowed mightily through the passage, and the Argo made the hazardous trip safely, losing only a piece of her stern ornament.

	Argonauts - ninemsn Encarta
		The Argonauts saved a Thracian king, Phineus, from starvation caused by the Harpies, flying creatures with the heads of old women and the bodies of birds, who were carrying off and befouling his food.
		In gratitude, Phineus told them how to pass through the Symplegades, the rocks that guarded the entrance to the Euxine Sea by clashing against each other when anything went between them.
		As Phineus had instructed them, the Argonauts released a dove that flew between the Symplegades.

		The Symplegades (sim-PLEG-uh-deez) were said to be in the strait between the Aegean and the Black Sea (known to the ancient Greeks as the Euxine).
		The traditional raconteur’s figures, which he has not invented, but has received and faithfully transmits, are never figures of speech, but always figures of thought and one cannot ask, Which came first, the symbol or its significance, the myth or its ritual enactment.
		What the formula states literally is that whoever would transfer from this to the Otherworld, or return, must do so through the undimensioned and timeless “interval” that divides related but contrary forces, between which, if one is to pass at all, it must be “instantly”.

	THE FIRST LOVING INVITATION
		The whole thing is being worked out on another level, through what is bound to be a long and very frightening process, not only in the depths of every living psyche in the modern world, but also on those titanic battlefields into which the whole planet has lately been converted.
		We are watching the terrible clash of the Symplegades, through which the soul must pass--identified with neither side.
		But there is one thing we may know, namely, that as the new symbols become visible, they will not be identical in the various parts of the globe; the circumstances of local life, race, and tradition must be compounded in the effective forms.
