What was it that Warburg found so fascinating in the figure of the snake, and what granted it incomparable power – the power of semantic change? Apparently, it is due to the possibility of changing its meaning that the snake is capable of the very process of creating a symbol. Hence it is not an unambiguously defined figure but precisely a symbol of ambivalence.
