Gog and Magog in the Royal Arcade.

The sign below the clock headed "Gog and Magog" in Melbourne's Royal Arcade reads thus:
(Left side) These two 7-feet giants have been striking the time on Gaunt's clock since 1842.
They were carved from clear pine and modelled on the figures erected in Guildhall, London,
in 1708 to symbolise the conflict between the ancient Britons and the Trojan invaders."
(Right side) Mythology tells of the giants Gog and Magog (also known as Corineus and Gogmagog)
having been captured in battle by the Trojans and made to serve as porters at the gateway of
an ancient palace on a site later occupied by the Guildhall.
It is traditional for Gog to stand to the north and Magog to the south.
