Medusa in the Shadow of Athena

$4,500.00

36x48 inches (91.44x121.82 cm)
Acrylic painting on canvas

In Ovid’s version of the Medusa myth she wasn’t always a monstrous Gorgon, but a girl raised from infancy to be a priestess in the goddess Athena’s temple. The God Poseidon raped her there. Who was punished? The victim, of course. Athena transformed her into a hideous rage-filled monster deadly to men. Adding injury to insult, she was the only Gorgon to remain mortal - left vulnerable to the conquering hero, Perseus, who slew her. Society creates its own monsters. Does this story sound familiar?
