| | Medusa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Medusa is used as one of the many symbols of the haute couture house Versace. | | | While Medusa was pregnant by Poseidon, she was beheaded in her sleep by the hero Perseus with help from Athena and Hermes, who supplied him with winged sandals, Hades' cap of invisibility, a sickle, and a mirrored shield. | | | Another well known version is that the once human Medusa claimed to be more beautiful than the Greek Goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite. |

| | Medusa 1, Greek Mythology Link. |
| | Medusa 2 was a daughter of King Sthenelus 3 of Mycenae, son of Perseus 1. | | | Still others affirm that Medusa 1 was a beautiful woman and the hope of many suitors, and that the most beautiful in her was her magnificent hair. | | | When Medusa 1 was beheaded, the other GORGONS woke up and pursued Perseus 1, but they could not see him because he was wearing the helmet of Hades. |

| | Medusa |
| | Born beautiful, Medusa was seduced by Poseidon, disguised as a horse, in one of Athena's temples. | | | 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. |

| | Medusa : Analysis |
| | It is Medusa's fault for attracting the lusty god of the sea, for as a female that is inherent in her nature (7). | | | Medusa was once a powerful feminine symbol, with control over the natural cycle and in harmony with the worlds of earth and sky. | | | It could be a form of the Greek word metis, meaning feminine wile, an aspect which the male gods themselves strive to obtain and which was ingrained into human women during their creation (7). |

| | On "Medusa" |
| | Silence also forms the core of "Medusa," a poem in which Bogan directly confronts her own demonic aspect in the guise of the terrifying Gorgon, who according to classical myth turns onlookers into stone. | | | This is the inscription of Medusa mythology in the subject who knows herself in language. | | | As one of the Gorgons, Medusa figures forth the remembrance of matriarchal goddesses made hideous by patriarchal mythology. |

| | Medusa and the Image of Rape |
| | Medusa became a symbol of death because of her connection to an older religion which had a female as the supreme diety. | | | This talisman gave rise to the story that Medusa was a goddess of death, although she was mortal. | | | That Medusa should be a mortal goddess is outrageous but it became a popular story of the conquest of death. |

| | Medusa in Myth and Literary History |
| | Medusa's head is both a mirror and a mask. | | | The episode of Perseus' victory over Medusa represents the end of female ascendancy and the taking over of the temples by men, who had become the masters of the divine which Medusa's head had concealed from them. | | | In Hesiod's Theogony (275 et seq.) and in the Odyssey (XI, 633-5), Medusa is the guardian of terrifying places, either the nocturnal borders of the world or the Underworld. |

| | Medusa |
| | Historically, before ancient Greece, Medusa was worshipped by the Libyan Amazons as a Serpent -Goddess, and associated with the destroyer aspect Anath (also known as Athene) of the Triple Goddess in North Africa and Crete. | | | Some scholars believe that the Greek and Roman Medusa myth, as told by Ovid, expresses the vanquishing of the great goddess religions as the male gods Zeus/Jupiter and Poseidon/Neptune gained power. | | | Psychoanalytic interpretations of the Medusa myth focus upon Medusa's snake-like hair representing bleeding female genitals, and the frightening power of the wounded (perhaps "castrated"), devouring mother over the fragile male psyche. |

| | Perseus on Pegasus Slaying Medusa |
| | In Sargent's depiction, he seems to combine the elements of the entire story -- the slaying of Medusa, the birth of Pegasus, and the presenting of Medusa's head to Athena all in one. | | | He also, very cleverly, has kept faithful to the constellation of Pegasus. | | | In one version of the birth of Pegasus -- the flying horse -- it states the horse was miraculously formed when the blood of Medusa's severed head poured onto the foaming sea, and out of this foam it came. |
