File:Ancient Egypiton Ouroboros.jpg| The sun god and the Ouroboros, image on a  golden shrine in the tomb of Tutankhamun. The Ouroboros first appeared in its classical, circular form on a golden shrine in the  tomb  of Tutankhamun,  the  pharaoh  who, at  the  end  of  the  revolutionary Amarna Period, returned to Thebes and the traditional religion.

File:SM.jpg| Full Circle. This image was created for the cover of an issue of Angewandte Chemie that featured an article on the geometric and electronic connections between different types of pericyclic reactions. The background is a page from Woodward and Hoffmann's classic Conservation of Orbital Symmetry. The circle is an orobouros - a mythical serpent eating its own tail - that I created in response to a suggestion by Roald Hoffmann; it is meant to emphasize both the cyclic nature of pericyclic transition structures as well as the fact that the article accompanying this illustration marked Roald's return to the topic of simple pericyclic reactions of hydrocarbons, nearly three decades after he first described many of their key electronic features.
