Head of Medusa - Art Print
Medusa is probably one of the most iconic figures of Greek mythology and a popular subject in the arts of many many centuries. As one of the Gorgons – children of the sea deities Phorcys and Ceto – she had hair of living venomous snakes and the ability to turn her gazers into stone. While in early archaic depictions, that date back to the 8th century BC, she was often illustrated as a monstrous being with long wild boar tusks in an awfully big mouth and with a frightening glance, artists later began to depict her as a beautiful, yet deadly dangerous and intimidating woman. Because of her ability to turn men into stone, Gorgons were often found placed on buildings or precious objects and were thought to protect them with their deadly glance.
