What does the greek key symbol stand for?

The Greek key symbol represents infinity and labyrinths. Items with this motif can be given as a present showing an eternal bond of friendship or love. It is also known as a fret symbol or as the meander motif.

The Greek key symbol is named after the Meander river in Turkey, because of its long and winding shape, which was featured in Homer's "Iliad." It is often associated with the labyrinth of Crete, built by King Minos to house a minotaur. It may also represent snakes, waves or cardinal points such as the four seasons. In Greek culture, the fret symbol can be used to represent various ideas or objects, but it can also be used for purely decorative purposes.
