8. Page 27
Observations:
Words Cat (picture), Bat, Slat (wood pieces) : Reminds me of Vat on another page.


"fata viam invenient" or "Fate will find a way" or " The Fates will find a way"
The phrase fata viam invenient is from Vergil's Aeneid, Book 4.
Where, once again, we are led to Pallas -  Son of Evander, whom Evander entrusts to Aeneas’s care and tutelage. Pallas eventually dies in battle at the hands of Turnus, causing Aeneas and Evander great grief. To avenge Pallas’s death, Aeneas finally slays Turnus, dismissing an initial impulse to spare him.
Pallas tying in with Poe, of course.
It also features Neptune (remind you of another page with a trident, as well as the boat below?)



A better view of the path of the Schwanberg labyrinth. This Roman labyrinth, was the first constructed with two meanders, dates from around 250 AD and is found on a circular mosaic labyrinth in Avenches (Aventicum) in Switzerland. (Source: Hermann Kern, Labyrinthe, 1982, p. 120)
