The Seasons of Life on f85r2

The ancient Greeks believed that the sun god, Helios, literally dipped into the waters of Oceanus at the end of the day. In the Iliad (8.485), Homer writes: "And now the shining light of the sun was dipped in the Okeanos trailing black night across the grain-giving land."

Interesting, that goes more with the moon example to me than the one with the sun. But maybe it is backwards, because if the sun is in the waters, then it is night, yes? so the moon being in the one with " the grain-giving land" means it is actually day, so that makes more sense now, seems silly to show off your vegetables to the moon. Still, for the one with the sun, what are the people trying to act out, especially if it is night time, and what is with the gushing fountains?
