“In Greek mythology Medusa’s transformation from an object of admiration to one that inspires fear served as a cautionary tale about transgression and punishment, and images of her terrifying face and head have long been used as talismans to ward off evil.
Over time the perception of Medusa as a monster has been revised: Seen through a modern lens, she is interpreted as a victim rather than a villain. As a woman who survives sexual violence and unjustly suffers the tragic consequences of the misdeeds of a man, her fate is often viewed emblematic of the repression of female sexuality and agency.” - Britannica online
