The signing parties reiterated their dedication to the successful completion of the project, emphasising its potential to transform the digital landscape of the Mediterranean region, while achieving broader regional integration and development goals. So much so that the Gears begin to wonder why she looks so different compared to the other Locust. Word of God says she's actually human. Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.604–662. Roger Lancelyn Green suggests in his Tales of the Greek Heroes written for children that Athena used the aegis against Atlas. One briefly shows up as a patient in The Dragon Doctors. Her name is Yuri (a shortening of Euryale) and she has a boyfriend named "Percy" (a shortening of "Perseus"). She's visiting the doctors to have herself turned into a non-Gorgon so she doesn't worry about turning him to stone. The triple form is not primitive, it is merely an instance of a general tendency... which makes of each woman goddess a trinity, which has given us the Horae, the Charites, the Semnai, and a host of other triple groups. It is immediately obvious that the Gorgons are not really three but one + two. The two unslain sisters are mere appendages due to custom; the real Gorgon is Medusa. [13]

Klages, Mary (2006). Literary Theory: A Guide for the Perplexed. New York, NY: Continuum International Publishing Group. p. 99. Medusa's visage has since been adopted by many women as a symbol of female rage; one of the first publications to express this idea was a feminist journal called Women: A Journal of Liberation in their issue one, volume six for 1978. The cover featured the image of the Gorgon Medusa by Froggi Lupton, which the editors on the inside cover explained "can be a map to guide us through our terrors, through the depths of our anger into the sources of our power as women." [26] Elizabeth Johnston's November 2016 Atlantic essay called Medusa the original 'Nasty Woman.' Johnston goes on to say that as Medusa has been repeatedly compared to Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, she proves her merit as an icon, finding relevance even in modern politics. "Medusa has since haunted Western imagination, materializing whenever male authority feels threatened by female agency," writes Johnston. [30] Beyond that, Medusa's story is, Johnston argues, a rape narrative. A story of victim blaming, one that she says sounds all too familiar in a current American context. A unique take on the Medusa tattoo is to give her color. It can make the design more striking, especially if you use different shades of one color. The snakes are also usually colored to contrast against Medusa’s skin tone. 9.

Played with interestingly for the Beauty and Beast Corps from Metal Gear Solid 4. While they are perfectly normal women (if Ax-Crazy) under their Powered Armor, the armor invokes this by making them look like cybernetic monsters. Defeating them in their armored form causes it to fall off, revealing that they're quite fetching under the mask. They actually embody both sides of the trope-their armor shows the duality of a vicious, inhuman soldier contrasted with the terrified, broken victim wearing it, while their real forms contrast a beautiful, serene exterior with an inner core damaged beyond the ability of anyone to repair. Roof ornament with Medusa's head. Etruscan, from Italy, 6th century BC. National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh

Her sister, Arachne, also fits the trope. She's beautiful and large-breasted with a spider web in her eye. Creature Commandos: Dr. Myrra Rhodes—a.k.a. Dr. Medusa—was a plastic surgeon who was transformed intto a snale-haired freak by a Freak Lab Accident. Apart from the snakes for hair, she reamined a very attractive woman. (And, no, her snakes could not turn people to stone.) A Medusa Chest tattoo is a great choice because it’s larger than the rest and has more space for creativity. You can give her a unique style by putting little twists on the traditional design, like giving her your favorite color or adding flowers to make it prettier. 14. Medusa Sleeve Tattoo On the other hand, Nymphs use their beauty as a weapon... it's the last thing any trespasser looking at them sees. Well, usually, nymphs are A) highly charismatic (low to mid 20s) and B) naked. Some editions say that looking at a clothed nymph will blind you, but looking at a nude one will kill you.The title of this trope itself, by the way, has solid foundations in later interpretations of Greek Myth where the Gorgons became Progressively Prettier, at least in literature if not art. In the oldest versions of the Gorgon legends, they were said to be hideous-looking, hence Medusa's classic snake hair and scaled face. Older depictions show them with bulging eyes and fangs, with evil grimaces (often considered a direct comparison to a rotting corpse). However, as centuries passed, many tellings had the Gorgons as mortal women more lovely than Aphrodite, causing that goddess to curse them such that any who saw their loveliness would be turned to stone. Others went so far as to say the Gorgons were so beautiful, their faces could stop men's hearts. Another version, first recorded in Ovid's Metamorphoses, is that Medusa was originally a beautiful temple maiden, and Neptune was so captivated by her beauty that the two became lovers, going as far as to have hanky-panky in Minerva's temple (where Medusa was the high priestess). Minerva, disgusted that the maiden would do this, turned her into a Gorgon as punishment. A harsher variation on this claims that Medusa wasn't a willing participant, but Minerva chose to punish her anyway because she couldn't punish Neptune (although a softer variant of this harsher variant is Minerva transforming Medusa to protect her from Neptune). The Kendril species in Last Res0rt consists almost entirely of Gorgeous Gorgons and Cute Monster Girls, even accounting for the whole Medusa aspect. They still wear masks, though.

This Medusa Versace tattoo is great because it’s part of fashion history. The brand was founded by Gianni Versace in 1978 and it has been one of the most famous brands in the world ever since. This design is actually pictured on one of their famous handbags so it makes the tattoo feel more stylish. It’s also a great way to show your love for fashion and how you’re not afraid to take risks when it comes to creativity. 10. Dark Medusa Tattoo Solaron, protagonist in the Dungeons & Dragons story The Tale of Solaron, is a rare male example of this trope. Given that he is able to seduce most any lady he talks to he seems quite attractive by human standards. Dark Souls: The Chosen Undead can meet three: Quelaag, The Fair Lady and Priscilla. All three are Type 1 ( Lordran is NOT a nice place) but Priscilla gets special mention for being built up as an abomination who " has no place in this world"... but when you meet her, shows herself to be a lovely young woman with white hair, dragon scales and a scythe. She even opts for pointing you to the exit rather than fight you... not that you can't murder her anyway. That is to say, there occurred in the early thirteenth century B.C. an actual historic rupture, a sort of sociological trauma, which has been registered in this myth, much as what Freud terms the latent content of a neurosis is registered in the manifest content of a dream: registered yet hidden, registered in the unconscious yet unknown or misconstrued by the conscious mind. [18] Psychoanalysis The head of Medusa is featured on some regional symbols. One example is that of the flag and emblem of Sicily, together with the three-legged trinacria. The inclusion of Medusa in the center implies the protection of the goddess Athena, who wore the Gorgon's likeness on her aegis, as said above. Another example is the coat of arms of Dohalice village in the Czech Republic.Global Gateway is the EU’s positive offer to reduce the worldwide investment gap and boost smart, clean and secure connections in digital, energy and transport sectors, and to strengthen health, education and research systems. The Global Gateway strategy embodies a Team Europe approach that brings together the European Union, EU Member States, and European development finance institutions. Together, it aims to mobilize up to €300 billion in public and private investments from 2021 to 2027, creating essential links rather than dependencies, and closing the global investment gap. Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.798: "the Sovereign of the Sea attained her love in chaste Minerva's temple" ( Brookes More translation) or "in Minerva’s temple Neptune, lord of the Ocean, ravished her" ( Frank Justus Miller translation, as revised by G. P. Goold) Whether Ovid means that Medusa was a willing participant is unclear. Hard, p. 61, says she was "seduced"; Grimal, s.v. Gorgons, p. 174, says she was "ravished"; Tripp, s.v. Medusa, p. 363 says she "yielded". In the original Latin text, Ovid uses the verb "vitiasse" which is translated to mean "violate" or "corrupt" line 798. A Song of Ice and Fire: In A Storm of Swords, woods witch The Ghost of High Heart describes seeing a vision of "a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs." It later becomes clear that this was meant to represent Sansa Stark at King Joffrey's wedding feast, where she wore a hairnet encrusted with purple gemstones, one of which, unknowingly to her, contained a poison that was used to assassinate Joffrey. A green face Medusa is perfect for someone looking to make a dramatic statement. Medusa’s skin was given a greenish hue after Athena cursed her, so this design symbolizes that spell. This tattoo can be a great way to tell your friends what you’re really like, like showing them the person beneath the surface. 25. Innocent Look Medusa Tattoo Karoglou, Kiki (February 1, 2018).

Onmyoji: the eight-headed serpent Yamata no Orochi appears in his humanoid form as a Bishounen with pale features and actual snakes as parts of his humanoid body. Other notable instance is Kiyohime, depicted as a beautiful woman with a serpentine lower body.

Examples:

Probably the feminine present participle of medein, "to protect, rule over" ( American Heritage Dictionary; compare Medon, Medea, Diomedes, etc.). If not, it is from the same root, and is formed after the participle. OED 2001 revision, s.v.; medein in LSJ. Medusa from Castle Crashers fits this trope. Even though she's trying to kill you, she's still fairly nice looking for someone who's half snake.
