Dundon-Myth



For my concept I am using the metaphor that the brain is the root of the body. By using the concept of medusa I well create a well developed picture. Medusa is known as a ugly creature. However she was not always that ugly, in fact she was once the most beautiful daughter out of her two other sisters. She was so beautiful she was the priestess of Athena. Since Athena was debited to a life of celibacy so was Medusa. Although this was the case Medusa was very wooed by Poseidon, and forgetting her vows she united with him in marriage. For this offense she had to be punished so she was punished by Athena. What was once a beautiful young lady now was a hideous women with instead of her beautiful gold locks she now had a head of snakes, and that is the myth of Medusa. So now I am going to make this myth my own and instead of having snakes as hair I would like to use branches and roots from trees., to recreate the myth.
