Building on the huge popularity of mythological retellings, here is the story of the much misunderstood Medusa, told through ancient and modern minds, in a beautiful collectable edition. Variously described as a fiend, a monster, a charming seductress who was felled by the righteous might of Perseus, son of Zeus, Medusa is perhaps the most misunderstood of mythological women.

Described by male historians, poets and epic writers such as Hesiod and Ovid, there are many aspects of her imagined life which find resonance in the struggles of the outsider, the cursed and those used in the service another's vision of the world around them. This fascinating collection brings together new stories and ancient origins, offering a wider perspective on the whole life of the powerful, wonderful Medusa. Hardback, Deluxe edition, double foiled with red foil page edges
