Medusa has been variously portrayed as a monster, a protective symbol, a rallying symbol for liberty, and a sympathetic victim of rape and/or a curse. She is perhaps best recognized by her hair of living snakes and ability to turn living creatures to stone. Medusa is an ancient icon that remains one of the most popular and enduring figures of Greek mythology. She continues to be recreated in pop culture and art, surpassing the popularity of many other mythological characters.〔Wilk, Stephen R. ''(Medusa: Solving the Mystery of the Gorgon )'', June 26, 2000, Front matter, ISBN 0-19-512431-6.〕 Her likeness has been immortalized by artists including Leonardo da Vinci, Peter Paul Rubens, Pablo Picasso, Auguste Rodin and Benvenuto Cellini.〔Wilk, ''Medusa: Solving the Mystery of the Gorgon'', pg. 200〕 ==Ancient times to the Renaissance== The Gorgoneion, or Gorgon head, known as Medusa, was used in the ancient world as a protective apotropaic symbol. Among the Ancient Greeks, it was the most widely used symbol to avert evil. Medusa's head with its goggling eyes, fangs, and protruding tongue was depicted on the shield of Athena herself.〔Jane Ellen Harrison, ''Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion'', pp 196ff.〕 Its use in this fashion was depicted in the ''Alexander Mosaic'', a Roman mosaic (ca. 200 BC) in Pompeii. In some cruder representations, the blood flowing under the head can be mistaken for a beard. By the Renaissance, artists depicted Medusa's head held aloft to represent the realistic human form of the triumphant hero Perseus (such as in the 1554 bronze statue ''Perseus with the Head of Medusa'' by Benvenuto Cellini). Medusa's head was also depicted to evoke horror by making the detached head the main subject (as demonstrated by the 1597 painting ''Medusa'' by Baroque originator Caravaggio).〔(Might Medici ), By Robert Hughes, ''Time'', Dec. 05, 2002〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cultural depictions of Medusa and Gorgons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
