My last myth-inspired post is another look at Medusa, one of the most notorious female figures of Greek mythology. Medusa, daughter of the goddess Ceto, became famous both because of her deadly serpentine hair, and because her monstrous fate was a punishment from the goddess Athena for having sex with Poseidon in the former's temple. And in some interpretations of the story, Medusa was take by force. This makes her story even more important for contemporary feminists, as one of the earliest instances of victim-blaming in mythology. This piece is full of emotion any way you slice it. The carved bone of Medusa's lovely face comes from the talented hands of @indobonecraft. And her setting of textured copper is made with recycled copper wire and sheet. #medusa #medusamyth #recycledcopper #mythology #greekmyth #electroformed #electroformedpendant https://www.instagram.com/p/Co6GcTnLIvE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
