En la mitología Griega, Medusa (en griego antiguo Μέδουσα Médousa, ‘guardiana’, ‘protectora’) era un monstruo ctónico femenino, que convertía en piedra a aquellos que la miraban fijamente a los ojos. Fue decapitada por Perseo, quien después usó su cabeza como arma hasta que se la dio a la diosa Atenea para que la pusiera en su escudo, la égida. Desde la antigüedad clásica, la imagen de la cabeza de Medusa aparece representada en el artilugio que aleja el mal conocido como Gorgoneion. (fuente wikipedia)

Me encantan las caras de malvadas que tienen las serpientes! XDDD

ENG *******

This is a commission for the card game "Guerra de Mitos" (Myth's War) guerrademitos.com/

In Greek mythology Medusa (Greek: Μέδουσα (Médousa), "guardian, protectress") was a monster, a Gorgon, generally described as having the face of a hideous human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Medusa was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.

I like the wicked faces of snakes! XDDDD

This reminds me of a scene from my upcoming book Gorgon actually. It's about the daughter of Medusa who goes on a quest to bring her mom back to life.
