Appearance
English: In Greek mythology Medusa (Greek: Μέδουσα (Médousa), "guardian, protectress") was a Gorgon, a chthonic monster, and a daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. Gazing directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone. She was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.
in Greek mythology, one of the three Gorgons, described as a woman with snakes in place of hair, beheaded by Perseus ![]() Caravaggio: Medúza (1597 körül), Uffizi, Firenze | |||||
