Some of the more current interpretations of the triskele are that it is a symbol for the cycles of life, personal growth, human development, and spiritual expansion. Because, at times, it is drawn in one continuous line, the triskele represents a continuous movement of time.
In the centre of the flag is what is known as the triskelion, a motif featuring the winged head of the goddess Medusa surrounded by three ears of wheat, and these in turn surrounded by three bare legs bent at the knee. The legs are said to represent the shape of the island. The Sicilian flag is divided into two right-angled triangles by a diagonal line- the left hand diagonal is yellow, and the right hand one dark red.
