In Biblical tradition, Leviathan lies in a circle surrounding the world like
Ouroboros but with the intention of over-coming it, not preserving it. ...The mindfulness of the pious was an active restraint upon Leviathan's perpetual attempt to meet head to tail. The Hebrew word
liwiathan is translated as
crocodile but its
liwya (writhings) are more like those of a great
serpent than any crocodile.
