dgorringeart:“this last was made to show a blank-eyed Gorgon’s head, fierce and grim, with Rout and Panic on either side.” -Iliad, book 11Medusa; as depicted and described by the archaic and ancient Greeks; hideous, with the tusks of a boar, bulging eyes, wings, and talons; similar to other fierce beings from India to New Zealand who grimace, glare, protrude their tungs and fangs to ward off evil and terrify foes. -- source link
