Gaze of Medusa

6634a6a702ffd0e58884df96

As a kid growing up in the 80's I was a big fan of the "Clash of the Titans" film where we see Perseus stealthily creeping through Medusa's layer. This scene really captured my young imagination with her grotesque snake body and glowing eyes. In combination with many illustrated books over the years, it sparked a love for the dreaded Gorgon in my psyche. Medusa is one of the most fascinating characters in Greek Mythology, embedding herself into our collective unconscious through countless generations.

On my winged sandals, I, Perseus, fly over the sea finally coming to the barren lands of the three Gorgon sisters; the immortals-Stheno and Euryale, and the mortal sister Medusa. Creeping amongst the stony statue victims, I stealthily descend deep into their cave lair where they sleep. Using Athena’s shield as a mirror, and invisibility due to Hades’ helmet, I float over to Medusa, raising my Adamantine sickle blade high for the death stroke. But Medusa senses my presence! She awakes in rage, unleashing the power of her gaze!
