Meaning of Medousa | Babel Free

Examples

“Figures like Medousa and Pegasos wear wings.”

“The same time period also offers our first look at Medousa and her family, that is, Medousa shown intact and, at her side, her children, Pegasos and Chrysaor, who will in fact emerge from her neck only after her head has been cut off. We find this composition on a shield-band from Olympia (B 1687: wings, but apparently no snakes) and again on the famous Medousa pediment from the Temple of Artemis on Kerkyra (no #), where the wings and snakes are both in evidence.”

“Superman wasn’t sure what disturbed him more, her actions or her lack of remorse. He knew that Diana had slain monsters before, like Medousa or the Scylla, but Max Lord had not been some mythological Greek monstrosity; he had only been a man, albeit an evil one.”
