My inspiration was from Natalie Haynes’ books. I haven't read Stone Blind but I loved the story of Medusa in Pandora's Jar: women in greek myths.

Medusa was one of the three Gorgons, daughters of the sea gods Phorcys and Ceto, and sisters of the Graeae, Echidna, and Ladon. All of Medusa's siblings were monsters by birth, even though she was not, she was a beautiful woman, and human. She was also desired by many men, even Poseidon was caught in "her spell".

She was in the temple of Athena, when something bad happened. Some say it was a love affair, others say it was rape. Well, just as it was since ancient greek and until now, artists have different interpretations, that also raise a lot of questions.

After learning what happened, Athena decides to punish Medusa, independently. Not Poseidon, even though he's at fault. Only Medusa. What she did was to turn Medusa into a more ugly creature than the gorgons. She was "depicted with bronze hands and wings of gold. Poets claimed that she had a great boar-like tusk and tongue lolling between her fanged teeth. Writhing snakes were entwining her head in place of hair. Her face was so hideous and her gaze so piercing that the mere sight of her was sufficient to turn a human to stone."

Now the question is: what Athena did to her was a curse or a salvation? A curse because she was turned into a monster and shunned by everyone except her sisters, isolated, alone. Or salvation because she would no longer suffer in the hands of men. But, in the end, it didn't matter really. She was killed by Perseus, even if she was a great 'monster'.

In this collage you can see three famous sculptures of Perseus killing Medusa. But in the center is the sculpture of Medusa holding Perseus' head, by Luciano Garbati. And this statue has become an important symbol of feminism rage.

Galatea the Nereid (Sea Nymph) and her Love Triangle

Western Art has a love affair with ancient Greece and Rome. Many different myths and historical (*cough*semi-historical*cough*) events.

In ancient Greek Mythology, there were two women named Galatea. One was a woman who was carved out of marble and brought to life, and the other was one of the fifty Nereides. Both women were to be the subjects of paintings, sculptures, and operas of different artistic periods because both women are at the center of love stories. Although their love stories differ, love stories are an enduring tale and are something that fascinate people throughout the ages.

This little blog post will focus on Galatea the Nereid.

Daughter of Nereus, the 'Old Man of the Sea,' and the Oceanid Doris. She is one of 50 sisters who lived with their father in his grotto in the Aegean Sea. Thetis, mother of Achilles, and Amphitrite who was Poseidon's queen and mother of Triton, were two of her more famous sisters. Galatea means Milk-White and she was a goddess of calm seas. Like her sisters, she was a protector of sailors and the sea's bounty, and like her sisters she was beautiful. She frequented the shores of Sicily and caught the eye of Polyphemus. Polyphemus has a legacy of his own right. A cyclops, a man-eater, and was blinded by Odysseus after trapping him in his home. This son of Poseidon and a nymph who was the child of Phorcys named Thoosa. Her name is only given to us by the poet Homer, but that would make her a sibling to Echidna, the Hesperian Dragon, the Gorgons, and the Graeae. Which gives us a better understanding of Polyphemus' portrayal in the early myths.

Polyphemus loved her, and gave her cheeses, milk, and played the pipes for her. But she spurned his love because she had fallen in love with another. Acis was a handsome Sicilian youth whose father was Pan and whose mother was a river nymph. He would mock Polyphemus's love and one day while Galatea and Acis lay in a grassy field beneath Mount Etna he took a bolder from the mountain and crushed the youth's head. From the blood that poured out the grieving nymph turned him into the River Acis, and him into the god of the river with horns and a blue face.

This version of the tale was recounted by Ovid in book three of Metamorphoses. But even later, we get tales of Polyphemus and Galatea's love. Where he is able to woo her with music and lure her to Sicily to be with him. This is thought to try to explain why there was a shrine to her on the shores. So the story of a Cyclops tied to the land and a sea nymph who couldn't leave the water's love was the explanation that Philoxenus of Cythera came up with as an explanation.

They also have a child together named Galatos who was to become the ancestor of the Gauls.

In art, around the Baroque period, the love triangle between Galatea, Polyphemus, and Acis picked up popularity in operas and artistic representations and the popularity would continue through the Romantic and Academic periods along with other Greek Myths. In statues a way to tell the nymph from her counterpart is she is often depicted with sea pearls in her hair, a garland of shells and pearls adorning her, billowing scarves, tridents, or dolphins.

One of my favorites is from Gustave Moreau, Where he doesn't look deeply into the love triangle, but instead focuses more on the beauty and the beast aspect of Ovid's tale and we get some beautiful pieces. The movement Moreau was part of is known as Symbolism, and I personally find the colors, the composition, and the details to be very compelling and expressive of the stories they are trying to tell in their art.

Anyway. I hope you like the story of Galatea, and looking at some of the art. I hope to do the story about the other Galatea, aka the statue that came to life soon.

{Sonic the Hedgehog} "Lancelot & Andrew's Flashback Scene" {For © KatarinaTheCat}

Andrew: Well, that went pretty well. Lancelot: Just go away. Andrew: Could have been worse. Lancelot: "The weak link in the chain." That's what he called me. Andrew:[sighs, then continues sewing his bag] Well, you are rather pathetic. Lancelot: Irresponsible, ignorant of the traditions. He practically accused me of bringing down the dynasty. Andrew: Yeah, I can see it now. There go the pyramids! [laughing] Lancelot: [gets down] You can laugh about it! Andrew: Sculptures cracking and toppling over. The river drying up. [collects some wine in the bag] Single-handedly, you will manage to bring the greatest nation on Ebon to ruin. Lancelot: Tell me this, Andy. Tell me this. Why is it that every time you start something, I'm the one who ends up in trouble? [Andy drops the bag on Edwin and Samson] Samson: Ah, man! Edwin: Oh! Samson: Ah! Lancelot! You're in trouble, young echidna! Edwin: Lancelot, get down here! I think you owe us an apology. Samson: Oh, my new thing! Edwin: I am so upset! Andrew: You might as well. Samson: By the power invested in me, you'll pay for this! Edwin: We're gonna tell Vichama! [Lancelot dumps the wine on Samson and Edwin] Samson: Oh, look at me! I'm drenched again! Andrew: Hey. I figured it out. You know what your problem is, Lancelot? Lancelot: What? Andrew: You care too much. Lancelot: And your problem is, you don't care at all. [spins the hat] Andrew: Oh, in that case, I suppose you care a lot more than I do that we're late for the banquet, for example. Lancelot: :0 [Many preparations later...] Lancelot: I'm done for. Father will kill me. Andrew: Don't worry. Nobody will even notice us coming in. [they both get out and spot the crowd cheering] Lancelot: "Nobody will even notice"? Andrew: :/

9. The Ambum Stone

Found in Ambum Valley, Enga Province, Papua New Guinea

Neolithic Oceania

Created c. 1500 BCE

Greywacke

Visual: The Ambum Stone is made of a kind of sandstone called greywacke, giving it a light brown color. It is a small sculpture, standing at around 8in high. The statue has a long snout and a head that curves with it. Its hands rest on top of what looks to be its belly. It represents some kind of animal, possibly a fetal echidna. This sculpture was carved carefully, considering its intricate details like its eyes and ears.

Context: The Ambum Stone is one of the oldest Oceanic artifacts found. The animal that it represents is unknown, but it is more than likely an echidna. Echidnas, especially the long-beaked, are native to Papua New Guinea. This stone may have been used as a pestle since the head and nose can be held, and the wide bottom of it has enough surface area for grounding. When using greywacke, the sculpting process is extra tedious because greywacke is a hard material. It is also possible that it was involved in a greater religious ceremony or ritual, as the sculpture looks like a fetal echidna.

Up dated photos# This is my current job and I wanted to share my progress on here with you guys. I'm so happy to get to sculpt a giant extinct echidna and in the photos you can see my progress and materials I get to use, and yes we did convert a Wombat into an echidna. Hahah in the last photo I'm adding the quills.
