Here is a mosaic of Medusa




This is found on the floor of the castle.
You will learn about Medusa with Mrs. Williamson later this year. I have been surprised at how often I have seen her in mosaics, paintings, statues, etc, since my trip began. Legends say she would offer protection by scaring off strangers.

    She would scare me off too!!! If she had snakes on her head I would hate to be bitten by one. Blake

    Hi Mrs. Bain,
    I'm glad you didn't turn to stone when you saw Medusa.

    Blake and Jared--you are funny:)

    I was really quite surprised how OFTEN she was used to keep strangers away. Apparently, people really DID believe that she could turn them to stone!
