	On "Medusa"
		The Medusa with the horror-stricken eyes is a reflection of the traumatized psyche, a memory of the mother caught in the revelation of sexuality but also the mirror image of a stricken self.
		In taking Medusa for their muse, women poets of the past two decades are owning themselves, that is, they are owning those aspects of their being that their families and society have invalidated by treating such qualities as unfeminine and unacceptable.
		In its death-like stasis, "Medusa" is a poem that, for all its artistic perfection, seems in retrospect tragically appropriate for a poet of extraordinary gifts who believed only 105 of her poems worthy of permanent record and who appears to have despised the very idea that she might be considered a woman poet.

	Medusa Coins: They'll Transform You
		I believe the image on these coins was that of Medusa and not that of one of her sisters, a generic gorgon, or a lumped-together amalgamation of the three Gorgon sisters, and I believe the ancients intended it this way, judging by the literature of antiquity.
		Though Medusa and her sisters Stheno and Euryale as a group are referred to in antiquity as the Gorgons (the Greek spelling/transliteration is Gorgones), I'm not aware of either of her sisters, unlike Medusa, being referred to simply as the Gorgon.
		Medusa's frightening appearance on coins served a propaganda purpose, as did many coin designs, in this case announcing to enemies and would-be enemies, "Don't mess with us." Warfare was endemic in the classical world, a way of life, and death, as it has been throughout much of history.
