hideous that any who looked into her eyes were turned to
Cameos depicting Perseus and Medusa, characters from Greek Mythology. Medusa was a Gorgon, so hideous that any who looked into her eyes were turned to stone. Perseus, son of Zeus slew Medusa and used her head and its petrifying glare as a weapon against his enemies. Whenever I look at cameos I wonder who the person was or who's face inspired the design. I wanted my design for the cameo competition to have a story behind it and what story is more intriguing than this!
