Medusa Table


Medusa Table


Medusa, one of the three Gorgons,, was celebrated for her personal charms and the beauty of her hair locks. Neptune fell in love with her, and obtained her favors in the temple of Minerva. This violation of the sanctity of her temple did not amuse the chaste Minerva, who changed Medusa's beautiful locks into a bunch of hissing snakes. 

From that day on, Medusa's very look had the power to kill or turn people into stones. Perseus made himself immortal by his conquest of Medusa. He cut off her head, and the blood that dropped from the wound gave birth to the Winged Horse Pegasus, as well as to the innumerable serpents that infest Africa. He then placed Medusa's head on Minerva's shield.
