I attempted to explain it in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. The overall composition is made to look like ship parts, and the context is one of a destructive storm. I included a passage from Ovid, who uses an aries metaphor to describe the battering of waves on a ship's hull. The Ram and "ramming" are blended together here.
I found this very hard to bring across since for us there is more of a linguistic disconnect between the animal, the siege weapon and Aries. This and the fact that these images are so layered means that I need 1500 words to describe what would be seen at a glance by the intended audience, thereby ruining everything and making it seem needlessly complex. As a blogger yourself I think you may understand this
