foulserpent:my interpretation of akatosh (just the head here)hes triple-faced, perhaps representing his main aspects (left to right-the paternal mannish akatosh, the totality of the dragon and world eater, and the connection to auriel). an eye opens for each dragon (and dragonborn) soul that is returned to his fold in death.prior to the oblivion crisis, many (though not all) imperial cult depictions of akatosh put the dragon aspect to the sidelines, often a subtle touch in art. after the crisis, with a petrified avatar of the god becoming the most visited cult shrine in cyrodiil, depictions changed to making the dragon aspect unavoidable (if not the only aspect depicted) -- source link
