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.
