Medusa by Tim Truman

The story of Perseus is written by the authors Ovid and Hesiod.

In this part of the story Polydectes held Perseus to his rash promise and demanded the head of the only mortal Gorgon, Medusa, whose gaze turned people to stone. Ovid's account of Medusa's mortality tells that she had once been a woman, vain of her beautiful hair, who was raped by Poseidon in the Temple of Athena.

This piece was created by Tim and is for a book from educational publisher Learning A-Z. It's one of a larger series of art done by Tim for a published series on Mythology.
