[The Ghost of Freak]

@°Celsius

So.... As a senior in undergrad, I took a course called Myths & Mysteries (or something close) in which we were covered the story of Poseidon & Medusa.

Particularly this version (which I pulled a synopsis from ye ol' Wikipedia):

"In a late version of the Medusa myth, related by the Roman poet Ovid (Metamorphoses 4.770), Medusa was originally a ravishingly beautiful maiden, "the jealous aspiration of many suitors," but because Poseidon had raped her in Athena's temple, the enraged Athena transformed Medusa's beautiful hair to serpents and made her face so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn onlookers to stone.[6] In Ovid's telling, Perseus describes Medusa's punishment by Minerva (Athena) as just and well earned."

Within a couple weeks or so after reviewing this in that class, I was walking in a wooded area at my college when I found this....



Remembered it recently and how it is nearly exactly Cel's ol' avi.
