Strophalos means a whirling wheel.
The verb is strophao, meaning to spin, to turn.
Strophalos is something that is circular and moves in a circular motion.
It is a spinning tool.
As the strophalos was spinning in the air,
it made a special sound of an animal.
Psellos is connecting strophalos with Hekate clearly calling the tool hekatikon,
means something that belonges to Hekate.
The strophalos is not a labyrinth.
As a two dimensional symbol in a circle we can see a triple form of energy
generated in the circle from three different sources.
As Hekate is a Triple Goddess with powers in three realms
(land, sky, water), the strophalos can be connected with Her symbolically.
As a practical magickal tool it is a spinning wheel
which is used to invoke the Goddess.

A Pindarean Ode:
"The Queen of sharpest arrows,
brought the dappled iynx from Olympus,
bound to the four spokes of the indissoluble wheel."

Iynx means something that is yelling or crying out.The verb is iyzo.
Iynx is a strophalos and Pindar is reffering to Aphrodite
who gave the described iynx to Jason in order to attract energy of love
to make Medea fall in love with him.
Socrates in the work of Xenophon, Memorabilia is also reffering to the magic wheels.
Also iynx is used as a magickal tool for love spells invoking Goddesses Artemis, and Hekate.
At Philostratos we find a description of a palace of the Babylonian king.
In the blue roof (symbolism of the sky) figures of the Babylonian Gods
were hanged and four golden iynges among them.
The Witches of Babylonia used those iynges to attune themselves with the Gods.
This is a clear description of iynges being an invocation tool.
The same writer also describes that iynges were in the Temple of Apollo
at Delphi and had been seen by Apollonius.
Neoplatonic philosopher Synesius wrote about the sympathy that was created by an iynx.
Marinus describes an incident of weather magick using an iynx (Procl. 28).
Proclus is writting that the ineffable causes iynges are called swift by the Oracles.
The iynges are also called inofficialy, ferrymen.
This word is too magickal and describes perfectly their purpose as mediums
that make the astral liquids manifest.
Today many devotees of Hekate believe that the strophalos is a modern symbol.
No, it is an ancient hellenic symbol.
It is not a foreign symbol, but it is traced in the mycenean civilization,
thus it is a native hellenic symbol.
It can be inscribed in the flying wheel or not,
but it still remains an ancient symbol
and linked to the Myceneans Hellenes.
Strophalos it is traced in the Mycenean Civilization (1600 b.C.)
as it was used for decoration for clothing or jewellery.
The same technique was used in Crete (disc of Phaistos),
which is the first printed material in the world.
