Jacob weaving a tapestry below the four-toed statue, Greek translation, fire burning

Presumably sometime in the 1800s in a stone-columned chamber/room below the four-toed statue, Jacob is sitting at a spinning wheel making thread. There is a fire pit in the middle of the room that appears to contain the the same or similar ash that surrounded the cabin.

When Jacob is weaving the thread, we can see the part of the tapestry that's already been made with a phrase in Greek on it. It is "ΘΕΟΙ ΤΟΣΑ ΔΟΙΕΝ ΟΣΑ ΦΡΕΣΙ ΣΗΣΙ ΜΕΝΟΙΝΑΣ", which means, "may the gods grant thee all that thy heart desires." The phrase is from Homer's The Odyssey.

i really think that we have a classical dualism of yin yang type.. black vs white but evey side with a bit of other in the core.

jacob is white with a black core, nemesis is black with a white core.. they are not good and evil but stasis and progress, white is the colour of DESTRUCTION and CHANGE (a creative destruction) while black is STASIS and PRESERVATION.

the more i look at this the more i think nemesis is the black smoke...
