Medusa T-Shirt

Medusa, Whose name means "Mistress," was one of the three Gorgons ("the Terrible Ones"), the daughters of Ceto and her brother Phorcys. She was said to have once been a beautiful maiden, famous for Her lovely hair, who was turned to a hideous monster by the goddess Athene. Snakes then replaced Her beautiful tresses, and Her gaze was so terrible it would turn men to stone. The hero Perseus killed Her on a dare, decapitating Her and making off with Her head, which he gave to Athene. Thereafter She wore it on Her aegis, or breastplate that symbolised the storm clouds.
