Not to overstate the obvious, but couldn't this represent the Moon: waxing crescent, full Moon, waning crescent - all combined in one image???
Do the triangular, red rays indicate something other than light??
Light presents a real problem in Pythagorean systems. Where does *light* come from? Isn't that the purpose of the "central fire"? A problematic and erroneous set of hypotheses.
If the red areas are an indicator of the presence of light, are the blue areas an indication of the recognition that the Moon's light is reflective? Isn't that recognition basically universal across all early astronomical systems?
