The
Beauty and Horror of Medusa, an Enduring Symbol of Women’s Power
Medusa, with her snake hair and stare that turns
people to stone, endures as an allegorical figure of fatal beauty, or a ready
image for superimposing the face of a detested woman in power.

What Does
Medusa Represent In Greek Mythology?
Ιn ancient Greece, women were usually accused of
provoking men with their image or their personality and are usually blamed when
anything happens to them. Snakes were often connected to deception as well
which reflected on the trust men put in women back in those days.

Mishandling the Myth of
Medusa
A Feminist Perspective on the
Greek Gorgon
Sigmund Freud, who, during the
20th century, wrote prolifically about the intersection of sexuality and
psychology. In 1950 his uncompleted essay, “Medusa’s Head,” was posthumously
published. He poses the idea that “to decapitate
= to castrate”.
Through this framework, Freud
posits that the female head is akin to her genitalia — keeping in mind that
Medusa did in fact “give birth” to her child from her severed neck. Within this
context, it seems as if both the male genitalia and female head are their
respective centers of power. Thereby, to castrate a man is to severe his most
vital organ; and to decapitate a woman is to take her most vital source of
power.
