Medusa's Bad Hair Day by Pat Kofahl In Greek mythology Medusa ("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. Gazing directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. 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. -Wikipedia~ In actuality, this is a night shot of the master Dale Chihuly's exhibit at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Arizona.
