The gate of the year

Figure above:

Stele from Göbekli Tepe (Turkey, about 11,500 years B.P.) showing engravings which represent a boar and a group of birds. In the mythology of later periods (Greek, Celtic, etc.) the boar appears as a powerful, wild and dangerous animal, against which arise heroes like Heracles and Meleager, which causes the death of divine or heroic beings, like Adonis or Finn, and is associated with the Goddess of Wilderness, like Artemis. Both in the Greek and the Celtic tradition, the boar is related with the function of the warrior and with the fury in warfare.
