Medusa | Victoria Olt

€950.00

2020

Handmade watercolor on paper.

12 x 16 in
31 x 41 cm + frame included for free in shipments within Estonia

Medusa, one of the hideous Gorgon sisters, used to be a beautiful mortal priestess of Athena until she had an affair with Poseidon, God of sea, in Athena’s temple. This breaking of her vow of celibacy and desecrating the temple enraged Athena so that she turned Medusa into a hideous hag and her hair into snakes. So horrible was she, that anyone who looked upon her turned to stone. The hero Perseus was later sent to kill her. He fought her using the reflection of his shield to see her and cut off her head, later using Medusa’s head to turn his enemies into stone. After this, the image of Medusa’s head was placed on Athena’s own shield.
