Very presently, I am confronted wherever I turn with the phenomenon "Medusa" - an absolutely mesmerizing figure in ancient history, going far beyond the severed head turning Perseus' enemies into stone - Is there any serious literature studying the historical development of this figure (obviously going back as far as to the Libyan Amazons) ? Please respond to Lisa.George@asu.edu Thanks! .
