In Greek mythology, King Ixion was spared punishment by Zeus, but took advantage by trying to seduce his wife Hera, and was punished by being tied to a burning rotating wheel in the underworld for eternity.

The picture here is scanned from the 1882 book Lucile, by Edward Robert Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, in which it’s referenced as a reminder, a caution against illicit love.
