Stretta in una situazione senza via d'uscita, strisciando invece di camminare con le sue gambe, ripugnante agli esseri umani che non hanno di lei nessuna pietà, Medusa decide per sè e si guarda allo specchio...
Pressed and with no way out, crawling instead of walking with her own legs, disgusting to pitiless humans, Medusa decides by and for herself and gazes at her reflection in the mirror...

Secondo il mito, Poseidone
si era innamorato di Medusa quando ancora era una bellissima fanciulla.
Una notte dunque il dio la sedusse (o la violò) nel tempio di Atena.
Quest'ultima, profondamente irritata dall’affronto subito, aveva
trasformato la fanciulla in un orribile mostro: le mani erano state
trasformate in pezzi di bronzo; erano state fatte comparire delle ali
d’oro e ricoperto il corpo di scaglie; i denti erano diventati simili
alle zanne di un cinghiale; i capelli erano stati trasformati in serpenti ed al suo sguardo aveva dato la capacità di trasformare all'istante in pietra chiunque la guardasse negli occhi.
Rappresenta anche la perversione intellettuale.
According to the myth, Poseidon had fallen in love with Medusa when she still was a beautiful maiden. One night the God had her (or raped her) in Athena's temple. The Goddess, deeply angered and outraged, turned the girl into a disgusting monster: her hands into pieces of bronze; there were golden wings on her back; her body was covered by flakes; her theeth similar to boar fangs. Her hair turned into snakes and her glance had the power to turn into stone anyone who dared to look into her eyes.
She also represents intellectual perversion.
