In Greek mythology, Medusa, also known as Gorgo, was one of the three Gorgon monsters, usually described as winged women with venomous snakes for hair. Unlike her sisters, she was sometimes portrayed as very beautiful. Anyone who looked into her eyes would turn to stone. Most sources say she was the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. Perseus, the Greek hero, decapitated Medusa and used her remaining head as a weapon because it could still turn people to stone. He eventually gave it to Athena, who placed it on her shield. In ancient times, Medusa’s head was often featured on the Gorgoneion, an amulet believed to ward off evil.
