| | Gorgon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Medusa was the only one of the three who was mortal; hence Perseus was able to kill her by cutting off her head while looking at her in the reflection in a mirrored shield he got from the Graeae. | | | Hesiod (Theogony, Shield of Heracles) increases the number of Gorgons to three -- Stheno (the mighty), Euryale (the far-springer) and Medusa (the queen), and makes them the daughters of the sea-god Phorcys and of Keto. | | | ...and pale fear seized me, lest august Persephone might send forth upon me from out of the house of Hades the head of the Gorgon, that awful monster..."(11.635) |

| | Medusa |
| | The gorgon Medusa, unlike her sisters, was a mortal. | | | It has been suggested that the body was added for the purpose of enabling Medusa to be killed, not only as a means of explaining the origin of this disembodied terror-head, but also to enact the conflict between man and his fears of a demonic female sexual energy. | | | Born beautiful, Medusa was seduced by Poseidon, disguised as a horse, in one of Athena's temples. |

| | On the other hand, Athena is said to have created the gorgon Medusa (sometimes refered to simply as the Gorgon) by cursing the (human) priestess Medusa (and no explanation for her sisters is attempted). | | | Many will have been the community where the neighboring formation of weirdly shaped rocks were men a gorgon had petrified; much as in Scandanavia one might find trolls atop a hillock, whether perpetually stone or liable to resume their natural form by darkness. | | | By contrast, gorgons immobilize and destroy both the innocent and the guilty alike. |

| | But her face and mask continued to be used in temples and sanctuaries, and to be commonly placed on columns, doorways and gateways, signifying her role as the guardian of the thresholds and mediatrix between realms. | | | In the Athenian myth of the Greek hero Perseus, Medusa's female wisdom along with the potential of women in general is silenced and the forces of nature are conquered in an ultimate act of domination and vengeance. | | | But when the Persians introduce the plumed serpent, her powers are transformed yet again into a dragon which is phallicaly speared into its mouth, an image that is highly popular throughout the Middle Ages. |
