imagined as real characters, the Kings and military Chiefs who ambitioned the loot of Tartessos
had clear that it was treating about representations; in the centuries of the Tartessian
expansion, those who desired to «emulate Perseus», for example, they knew well that the «Head
of Medusa» which they had to cut meant to «destroy Tartessos»; something similar occurred
when in the wars of XIX century was proposed to «destroy the Bear», alluding to the «conquest
of Russia», or to «humiliate the Lion», instead of «submit England». However, the fact that a
King was aware of the allegoric sense of the Myth, not rest him the capacity to act, on the
contrary, increases the possibilities of being really accomplished: who intelligently adopts the
role of a character of the mythical argument, interprets the description of the Myth as some
kind of plan or project to be realized; though is not the character who acts to realize the
character of the Myth but the own myth that, unconsciously, motorizes the character to fulfill
the argument: who aspires to be Perseus, will end cutting the head of Medusa, even if he
believes to be able of self-control because he knows the allegoric meaning of the character.
In this way, Dr. Siegnagel, the Golems «directed against Tartessos the Myth of Perseus»
as a reaction to the economic and military expansion which was developing out of their control
and frustrated all their plans: the answer is now clear. In the subsequent century would be
many the «Perseus» who would attempt the feat to conquest Tartessos; and almost in every
case, integrating the warrior expeditions, guiding invader Kings or pirate Chiefs, reached the
Golems, Hermes caricature that would signalize the abode of the Graerae and the location of
the unique Eye, that's to say, the Wise Sword. Due to the Golems would never forget their main
objective; steal the Stone of Venus. That would be their part of the booty: the rest, gold and
silver, docks and prosperous cities, all would be for the winner Perseus, for the «hero» of the
Cultural Pact. Was not much what they requested and would not be few who would answer to
their intriguing proposals. However, even by this offensive which was founded in the universal
action of the Myth and that obeyed the Tartessians to live in permanent war state, the
Kingdom defended itself with success until the III century, period in which their might started
to decline before other rising potencies: Carthage, Greece and Rome would write the end of the
History.
The Greeks of the pre-classic period were very receptive to the Strategy of the Golems
and that guided them to undertake many conquest expeditions against the Tartessians: from
their thriving colonies in Sicily, Italy, Gaul, and finally, in the own Spain, they would have
exterminated Tartessos if they not had to watch their back from the rising power of Rome. The
Romans, instead, were always friendly with the Tartessians and scarcely permeable to the
Golem influence: that must not surprise if it is remembered that through the veins of the
Roman royalty circulated the blood of the Pelasgians of Etruria, direct relatives of the
Tartessians. Destiny would not reserve then, neither Greeks nor Romans the «feat» of
destroying Tartessos. Would be a man of Carthage, a Phoenician, a red or Punic, the new
Perseus who would wield the iron sickle, inverted and perverted symbol of the half moon and
he would cut the Head of Medusa, giving fulfillment in this way, to the prophecy of the Golems.
In the XII century B.C., when the Philistines occupied and looted it, starts the decay of
Sidon, the most important Phoenician city. Begins in this way the might of Tyre, and would not
stop growing until Nebuchadnezzar, who after a siege of thirteen years, dilapidated it definitely
in 574 B.C. But, in that time, Tyre has been expanded through all the ancient world and
