Eyes painted on the bows of ships. the practice began in ancient china, where fish eyes were thought to help the vessel find its way, while dragon eyes would scare away evil spirits. in ancient egypt, the bi-colored falcon eyes of horus on a boat’s bow were assumed to be highly protective, with the white right eye representing solar and masculine qualities, while the black left one stood for the lunar and feminine. together they exerted the full power of the universe in the form of ra-herakhty or horus of the two horizons. the egyptian custom was adopted by phoenicia and then by classical greece, becoming so enduring that the eyes of horus can still be found on many mediterranean vessels even including some giant cruise ships.
