  Medusa
Medusa was a mortal woman whom Athena changed into a Gorgon as punishment for desecrating her temple, sleeping with Poseidon there.
In biology, a medusa (also known as a hydromedusa) is a form of coelenterate[?] in which the body is shortened on its principal axis and broadened, sometimes greatly, in contrast with the hydroid[?] or polyp.
In the class Hydrozoa[?] medusae are the sexual individuals of many species, alternating in the life cycle with asexual polyps, but in Scyphozoa or (jellyfishes) proper the medusa alone is well developed.

 Medusa in Myth and Literary History
Medusa's head, an apparently simple motif linked to the myth of Perseus, was freed through being severed and cut loose from its 'moorings' by the hero in the remote depths of the world.
The fact that Medusa is a mask and that this mask hides a more human face, is borne out by the way in which her portrayal is developed from the pre-Classical era to the Hellenistic period.
Medusa's blood is therefore the epitome of the 'pharmakon', while she herself -- as is shown by the apotropaic function of her mask -- is a 'pharmakos'.

 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.

 The Raft of the Medusa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Raft of the Medusa is the title of a painting by Théodore Géricault of an infamous catastrophic shipwreck of the French ship Medusa (original French name: La Méduse) in 1816 in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa.
Medusa was to carry the passengers, including the appointed French governor of Senegal, Colonel Julien-Désire Schmaltz and his wife Reine Schmaltz.
British naval officers helped the survivors to return to France because aid from the French Minister of the Marine was not forthcoming.

As the legend goes, Medusa was a woman of such stunning beauty that even the goddess of love Aphrodite paled in comparison to her.
So jealous and threatened by that beauty Aphrodite placed a curse on Medusa that any being to lay eyes upon her would be immediately turned to stone.
The aptly named Medusa Cyclone has managed to harness that same beauty inside the calm eye of a storm, a swirling vortex of blissed out distortion and psychedelic drone.

Medusa and her sisters, however, were transformed into hideous hags with snakes for hair and wings of bronze.
Medusa mocked Grey as she revealed her face, but she was amazed when he did not turn to stone.Thinking that her own curse had worn off, she looked at herself in the mirror; instantly, she felt her own body begin to stiffen and petrify.
Medusa’s son, Chrysaor, is sometimes said to have sprung from her corpse too, but this must as be error, because his daughter, Echidna, the wife of Typhon, was killed several generations prior by Argus, a former sentry of Mount Olympus.

On Medusa, all men are considered servants, although slaves would be a better term for their role.
Long ago, a comet passed close to Medusa and set about a shift on its axis, forcing it to be pulled free of its natural orbit and move away from the Proxima Centauri system, to drift through space and ultimately settle just outside the Earth’s Solar System.
On the return trip, the Nemesis is attacked by a mysterious vessel that Octavia recognizes as belonging to the Medusans’s age old natural predator, a reptilian life form that frequently troubled them in the distant past.

He is confronted by a king, Lycurgus or Pentheus, who opposes him, and whom he punishes terribly in return.
A similar theme echoes in a myth about Demeter: The maternal goddess in search of her kidnapped daughter stops in a kingdom and out of love tries to make the royal family's son immortal by dipping him into a magical fire.
Like him, their exploits are solitary, fantastic and border on fairy tale, as they slay monsters such as the Chimera and Medusa.

However, after the bizarre astronomical event known only as the White Event, Gatto's agility was enhanced to super human levels, and only the Medusa Web seemed to have the facilities necessary to train her in, and take full advantage of her newfound capabilities.
However, Susana was eventually recruited into the Medusa Web by Babel, and served with the group to the best of her ability until her untimely demise at the hands of - of all people - Anastasia Inyushin, Psi-Force's resident healer.
Of course, this operation cost the team more lives, and Gatto di Sangue was another casualty of his recruiting attempts; naturally, this is because the team encountered the demonic Rodstvow while making good on their escape.

The exact meaning of the Medusa head obverse type is obscure although it may be a reference to Perseus, the hero of Greek myth and supposed ancestor of the Persians.
The empire of Seleukos was built on that of Alexander the Great, which in turn had been taken from the Achaimenid Persians.
The pose of the bull is very similar to that which appears on the reverses of coins issued by Magnesia-on-the-Maiandros in Ionia.
