Gallery_Gorgon

‘Gorgon’ derives from the Greek word gorgós, meaning ‘dreadful’, and is used to describe a female monster. Medusa is probably the most notorious gorgon from Ancient Greek myth; symbolising the beauty, intelligence and power of women. Armed with hair made of writhing snakes and a horrifying gaze that turned those who beheld it to stone, Medusa is dangerous to the highest degree.

This myth teaches us not to judge anything or anyone, male or female, by appearances and to resist temptation.

In this image Medusa’s eyes remain in shadow, giving us a brief chance to look upon her.
