The Teumessian Fox is a legendary beast that spreads destruction wherever it goes. As a child of Typhon and Echidna, it represents collective guilt.

Legend is that a god sent it down to the city of Thebes because the people there had offended the gods.

Here’s how it is paradoxical:

1. The Teumessian Fox is cursed to never be caught.
2. Laelaps is a dog fated to catch everything it chases.

Amphitryon, a god, made Laelaps to start chasing the Teumessian Fox, and no one knows who would win. The paradox here is that an unstoppable hunter started chasing uncatchable prey. Zeus, however, put an end to this by turning them both to stone.

Back to sustainability and globalization.

The Teumessian Fox creates a lot of destruction, symbolizing a destructive force (possibly of nature). Zeus stops this by turning them into stone. This might symbolize that to achieve balance, sometimes you  need to step outside of the circle, looking at it from a different point of view.

Globalization is especially significant here because even though the Teumessian Fox cannot be caught, many people have come from everywhere to help each other catch it, symbolizing communication and collaboration between cultures and helping each other.
