Alright, a tidbit of explanation; Ay was a Pharaoh, one of the Second Dynasty I think, although that's pretty much irrelevant; he had the (un)fortunate quality of having such a name, Ay, as in d
Ay. Indeed, Pharaohs, as god-like ambassadors, owned pretty much everything.
You will recognize the reference to Damocles' sword (see
Wikipedia : Damocles). He also symbolizes the Greek, which were the next great revolutionary nation to follow the Egyptians. The "flaming glaive", "mighty trust" and "spilled seeds over the fertile nil" is obviously a reference to an non-consensual sexual act; I'm sure you can figure out what the flaming glaive represents (other than the Sword of Damocles), why it's giving a mighty,
final, one could say, thrust, and how it spills so much seeds upon the fertile Nil, here representing Egypt.
Egyptians adored the Sun; more specifically, the
second Dynasty (remember, Ay?) worshiped the Sun, above all others, as Râ, which, from my understanding, is simply the epitome of the "Sun" God, such as Zoroaster, Mitra and others. Thus, as I've said, the next cultural empire was the Greeks, whom expanded into Egypt (and further) when following the young,
blond Alexander III, commonly known as Alexander the Great.
Alexander the Great was a young, blond nubile child (at the beginning; one could argue a young man at the end) who was (and still is) considered as one of the most successful commander in history. Before his death, it is supposed that he had conquered most of the world, as known by the Greeks (tough luck, Australia). To sum it up, he was a young King, one could argue a vivid image of the Greek's Hero (which is another form of the Sun God pattern). In that sense, he was very close to the following Jungian Archetype, the King.
There. You learn everyday, don't you? Note that it took me a lot more time to explain than to write it. Explaining sucks. And I seem to have lost all trace of my flowery language; I need more coffee.
