-THE ISLAND LIFE-

Joseph Blanc - Perseo - 1869 - Musée D'Orsay Paris

What is the true story of Medusa? It varies according to the source. Gorgo appears in The Illiad and The Odyssey in the 8th century B.C. She is the guardian of the Underworld, the lock of Hades between the world of the living and the dead, between order and chaos. It is for this reason that she is sometimes depicted at the entrance to houses or on sarcophagi, invested with a protective mission. At the end of the 8th century BC, Hesiod evoked the three Gorgon sisters, daughters of marine divinities, of whom Medusa is the only mortal. Ovid developed her story in the Metamorphoses and the Pseudo-Apollodorus, in the 1st or 2nd century AD, detailed her death.

From one account to the next, Medusa is either a terrifying monster or a seductive woman who is united with or raped by Neptune/Poseidon in the temple of the chaste Minerva/Athena. Anxious to punish this sacrilege, the goddess targeted the seductive Gorgon rather than Neptune. She had to make her repulsive, so she mixed snakes into her beautiful hair and condemned her to turn to stone anyone who laid eyes on her. It was undoubtedly the despair of the young woman metamorphosed into a monster that Bernini wanted to convey in the marble, rather than a threatening being.

Perseus was subsequently commissioned to kill Medusa. He succeeded with the help of Hermes and Athena: one gave him winged sandals, the other a shield polished like a mirror, advising him never to look the Gorgon in the face, but to keep his eyes on her reflection, which Volterrano translates well in a painting kept at Schleissheim Castle.

The hero was also given a helmet that made him invisible, a billhook to cut off the monster’s head and a bag to carry it. When Perseus decapitated Medusa, two beings sprang from her neck, children of Poseidon: Pegasus, the winged horse, and Chrysaor the warrior. The episode inspired few artists. Burne Jones offered a rare vision in 1882, in a work that forms part of a series of ten cartoons devoted to the story of Perseus between 1877 and 1885 (ill. 7). The painter worked on the basis of ancient works, in particular a hydria, exhibited in the first room of the exhibition, and a terracotta plaque from the island of Milos in the British Museum.
