Life isn't easy when you're cursed with a headful of snakes for hair. Medusa knows that better than anyone. But she didn't start out in such a state. What happened? Who's to blame? And who's the real hero? Find out in this modern, action-packed graphic retelling of a classic Greek myth.
Seeking to become immortal like the other Goddess Girls, Medusa searches for a magical necklace, an effort that is compromised by her mean reputation, her snaky hair, and unexpected consequences.
Medusa, the Gorgon, who turns those who gaze upon her to stone, is one of the most popular and enduring figures of Greek mythology. Long after many other figures from Greek myth have been forgotten, she continues to live in popular culture. In this fascinating study of the legend of Medusa, Stephen R. Wilk begins by refamiliarizing readers with the story through ancient authors and classical artwork, then looks at the interpretations that have been given of the meaning of the myth through the years. A new and original interpretation of the myth is offered, based upon astronomical phenomena. The use of the gorgoneion, the Face of the Gorgon, on shields and on roofing tiles is examined in light of parallels from around the world, and a unique interpretation of the reality behind the gorgoneion is suggested. Finally, the history of the Gorgon since tlassical times is explored, culminating in the modern use of Medusa as a symbol of Female Rage and Female Creativity.
Medusa Gorgon was a beautiful priestess in Athena Olympian's Temple. She was raped in Athena's Temple, blamed for that rape, and punished for that rape. She was condemned to live the remainder of her life as a monster with snakes rearing from her head. Her glare can turn any man into stone. She is now going to have her trial in New York City to determine if a rape had occurred. If she loses the case she will again be condemned to her isolated island. If she wins, she will regain her youth, beauty and freedom. Maggie Harper, a feminist lawyer with a pugnacious reputation for defending women and their rights, will be representing Medusa. This is the trial of the century where the perverse reputations of the Olympians will be revealed.
In graphic novel format, retells the story of how King Polydectes planned to get rid of young Perseus so he could wed his mother, Danae, by tricking him into slaying Medusa--a snake-haired monster whose look turns humans into stone.
"Introduces the concept of point of view through Medusa's retelling of the classic Greek myth 'Medusa'"--
Gorgon. Killer. Monster. Victim. Survivor. Protector. Medusa breathes new life into an ancient story and echoes the battle that women throughout millennia have continued to wage.
