Medusa: A Look That Kills (3) |
|
| |
蛇髮女梅杜莎 (3) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Perseus knew what would happen if he laid eyes on Medusa–the statues outside her cave were proof. How could he kill her if he could not look at her? Perseus was a clever man. He used the shield Athena gave him as a mirror, carefully watching the reflection of Medusa's movements. When she approached him, Perseus spun around and, being careful not to look, stabbed her with the sword. |
|
| |
Perseus was successful. He cut off the monster's head and Pegasus, a winged horse, flew out of her neck. Later, Perseus used the head of Medusa to beat a huge sea monster and save the beautiful Andromeda, whom he later married. Before Perseus gave the head of Medusa to Athena, he showed it to the mean king, who was immediately turned to stone. |
|
| |
Look up in the night sky, and you can see the constellations of Perseus, Andromeda, and Pegasus. The Medusa story has also inspired artists such as da Vinci and Dali, not to mention rock bands, video game creators, and movie directors. They have made lasting tributes to one of ancient Greece's most special women. |

帕修斯知道他如果直視梅杜莎會有什麼下場──她巢穴外的石像便是證據。如果他不能看著梅杜莎，又要如何殺死她呢？帕修斯是個聰明人，他用雅典娜送的盾牌當作鏡子，小心翼翼地看著梅杜莎一舉一動的倒影。當她接近時，帕修斯轉身、小心地不看梅杜莎，用劍刺死她。 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
帕修斯一舉成功，他將怪物的頭顱砍下，飛馬皮葛瑟斯從她的脖子飛出。之後帕修斯用梅杜莎的頭顱擊敗大海怪，拯救了美麗的安卓美達，後來兩人結為夫妻。帕修斯將梅杜莎的頭顱交給雅典娜之前，把頭顱拿給卑鄙的國王看，國王立刻變成了石頭。 |

抬頭仰望夜空，你可以看見英仙座、仙女座，以及飛馬座。梅杜莎的故事賦予許多藝術家靈感，例如達文西及達利，更不用說還有搖滾樂團、電玩創作者，以及電影導演。他們讓這位古希臘最奇特的女子之一永垂不朽。 |
