Two history graduates discuss the legend of Medusa, the snake-haired Gorgon. 
The legend of Medusa has existed for 6,000 years, and throughout the centuries her story and appearance have changed many times. From being a Fury with tusks and golden wings, to the daughter of a Gorgon, to the snake-haired temptress, Medusa has many forms. Today she is a symbol of female rage and empowerment, someone that is a weapon against the male gaze, literally turning that gaze to stone.
