Reseña del editor
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Labrys is the term for a symmetrical doubleheaded axe, known to the Classical Greeks as pelekus or sagaris, and to the Romans as a bipennis. The double-bitted axe remains a forestry tool to this day, and the labrys certainly functioned as a tool, hewing wood, and wielded in war before it was invested with symbolic function. Labrys symbolism is found in Minoan, Thracian, and Greek religion, mythology, and art, dating from the Middle Bronze Age onwards, and surviving in the Byzantine Empire. The labrys also appears in African religious symbolism and mythology.
