What Medusa wants to control?


The most common interpretation of Medusa suggests she is an
apotropaic symbol used to protect from and ward o the
negative, much like the modern evil eye. She represents a
dangerous threat meant to deter other dangerous threats, an
image of evil to repel evil.

Symbols:
While a seemingly straightforward tale, Medusa's story explores
female dynamics, female power against patriarchal forces, with
her image also being used as a mark of protection against evils.
And the ultimate defense against the male gaze. Medusa was

the emblem of female power back in Ancient Greece and a
symbol of both protection and aggression.
What’s more,Attachment theory uses the Medusa Complex to
refer to a self-destructive early state of inwardly directed
aggression produced by a disruption of the mother/child mutual
gaze. Marion Woodman saw the Medusa Complex as a
dissociated state produced by paralysis of the ght-or- ight
response in a state of petri ed fear.

Vices:
until she was raped in Athena's temple by Poseidon. Athena
then punished her for this violation, by turning her into the
monstrous, stony-glanced creature that we know.

Virtues:
Medusa was a beautiful young woman who was a
priestess for the goddess of wisdom and war, Athena.
Medusa made a vow to the goddess that she would swear
her life to celibacy and servitude.

Physical Traits:
a round face, wide eyes, a beard, and a gaping mouth with an
extended tongue and gnashing, sharp teeth

Personality:
Medusa was an innocent person despite her very harsh fate in
life. As a human she was loyal and devout to Athena and
