That sensuous snaky hair. That gaping, grimacing mouth. That mesmerizing stone-cold stare. Medusa has been beloved as both monster and maiden for over two thousand years. This richly illustrated exploration of Medusa and the Gorgons will discuss the origins of these mythical monsters in antiquity, the power of their terrifying gaze, and how images of the Gorgons and Medusa have been utilized to tell different stories about death, women, and the horror of confrontation.
