World Ages and Zodiacal Symbolism in Gothic Cathedrals
The concept of the four ages of the world is traced through Greek, Vedic, Mayan, and Hopi traditions. Carlson points to the symbolism in Gothic cathedrals, such as Chartres, where the four evangelists are depicted as the four fixed signs of the zodiac: the Bull (Taurus), Lion (Leo), Eagle (Scorpio), and Man (Aquarius). These figures represent the four quadrants of the Great Year.
