In Greek mythology, Medusa, ( guardian, protectress ) was a gorgon, a
chthonic female monster; gazing upon her would turn onlookers to stone. She
was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a
weapon[ until giving it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield.
The image shows Caravaggio?s Medusa from 1597.
