Description: (Queen)
Medusa, a Gorgon from Greek mythology, had a terrifying appearance with snakes for hair that could turn onlookers to stone. She was mortal, unlike her sisters, and was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus. He then used her head as a weapon, which Athena later placed on her shield. The image of Medusa's head, known as the Gorgoneion, was used as a protective symbol in classical antiquity. Medusa was associated with various locations, including Sarpedon and Libya.
