The Temple Of Medusa

 Beneath them standing, with one purpose they 
 Cried, and so loudly that I shrank for fear, 
 "Medusa! let her from her place appear, 
 To change him into stone! Our first default 
 That venged no wrath on Theseus' deep assault, 
 So brings him." 

 "Turn thou from their sight," my guide 
 Enjoined, nor wholly on my fear relied, 
 But placed his hands across mine eyes the while 
 He told me further "Risk no glance.
 The sight 
 Of Gorgon, if she cometh, would bring thee night 
 From which were no returning." 

- Dante Alighieri


Beautiful works and a wonderful Haunt theme by Scarecrow Atelier.

Gorgoneion

"Near them their sisters three, the Gorgons, winged
With snakes for hair— hated of mortal man—"

Impressive and very original Medusa Statue prop.
