Artist's Comments
‘Gorgon’ derives from the Greek word gorgós, meaning ‘dreadful’, and is used to describe a female monster. Medusa is probably the most notorious gorgon from Ancient Greek myth. Armed with hair made of snakes and a horrifying gaze that turned those who beheld it to stone, she is dangerous to the highest degree.
Medusa symbolizes the sexuality, intelligence and power of women. Yet the alluring curves of her physicality hide a danger within. The myth teaches us not to judge anything or anyone by appearances. In this image Medusa’s eyes remain in shadow, giving us a brief chance to look upon her. Buy A Print - [link] Copyright © Mike Nash   |

Be careful whose toes you step on today because they might be connected to the foot that kicks your ass tomorrow.
All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day!!

And Medusa just rocks. Although maybe I'm biased with my feministic views - and femininity!

And I agree Medusa is an awesome female character. Powerful women are always great.
