<<or perhaps there are just a lot of eagles eating snakes in Greece.>> In my area it's Redtail Hawks catching Bullsnakes. Happens often in my neighbor's yard.

Unfortunately, it's a message that all 6 are going to die. < they saw an eagle flying over them with a snake dangling from its talons.> Note that they didn't report the drop of water evaporating on hot asphalt, or the blue sky with the sun setting gently in the west, or the dusty dry heat of the day. It was the snake, captured and struggling for survival, up in the sky, with an eagle with sharp claws, beak, hunger and chicks needing to eat. The reason it was interesting was the life and death struggle with the life being an ephemeral gravity-defying stunt, with a return to Earth and death assured. The various elements are fascinating because of the end state of the viewers of death. They see themselves in that process. So do I, which is why I even bother posting having happened upon the event, fourth hand. There are sharp talons Sharp beak One life [eagle] versus another [snake] Each needs life Snake kills others so there's poetic justice Snake poisons people so it's scary Eagle defies gravity Can fly like people dream of Because we evolved from birds and our brains are birdlike Gravity is relentless Snake represents evil in USA mythology Eagle is the great and glorious in USA mythology Eagle wins! Eagle also can fall from great height Eagle is dodgy beast too, not nice natured, hardly Libertarian It's in Greece, far from home Origin of civilisation Oracle of Delphi even!! Hope for future Young people off into the future on hope But it's bound by gravity with snakes and eagles, snakes and ladders, good and bad luck, good and bad choices. And in the end, sooner or later, one way or another, gravity will work it's relentless way and all will end up dead and buried. And that's that. No way out. Mqurice
