Medusa, the Gorgon, who turns those who gaze upon her to stone, is one of the most popular and enduring figures of Greek mythology. Long after many other figures from Greek myth have been forgotten, she continues to live in popular culture. In this fascinating study of the legend of Medusa, Stephen R. Wilk begins by refamiliarizing readers with the story through ancient authors and classical artwork, then looks at the interpretations that have been given of the meaning of the myth through the years. A new and original interpretation of the myth is offered, based upon astronomical phenomena. Th

Connie’s great gift also puts her in great danger, as the evil shape-shifter Kullervo needs her power to destroy the Society once and for all. But how can Connie help anyone, even herself, when she hasn’t learned how to use her gift yet? In t

The thesis of A Gorgons Mask: The Mother in Thomas Manns Fiction depends upon three psychoanalytic concepts: Freuds early work on the relationship between the infant and its mother and on the psychology of artistic creation, Annie Reichs analysis of the grotesque-comic sublimation, and Edmund Berglers analysis of writers block. Manns crisis of sexual anxiety in late adolescence is presented as the defining moment for his entire artistic life.
