Solar bird, the eagle combines the functions of light and fire.
He is both the king of birds and the bird of kings, the representative of their power and their might.
Splitting the sky like lightning to attack his prey, he is the image of the terrible & punitive father: the ruthless king.
Since it is assured that he is able to look the sun in the face, he sees everything, is omniscient & omnipotent.
The double-headed eagle represents more precisely knowledge & augury, like Janus looking at the future & the past.
