The Greek gods were the real monsters. They were corrupted power at it's purest form, and mortals like Medusa suffered because of it. Really good art, man.
The Gorgon Sisters
Share
Originally this started out as a single Medusa illustration to help me practice with a few textures but as I was starting it I think on PBS one of the Andrew Sisters songs came on the TV and I got inspired to combine the two together in a anachronistic illustration. I am also very tempted to due a series of anachronistic illustrations.
In one of the stories: Medusa was a priestess of Athena and had an affair with or was raped by Neptune inside the temple. Back in those days if a woman was raped in her house hold she was at fault and was the one punished but if it was outside of her home then the man was a fault, since it happened in the temple and because she was a priestess, she was then punished by Athena to become a gorgon.
