Analisa talks about the ancient Greek myth of the famous gorgon with snakes for hair, Medusa. She relates Ovid’s account of the tale from Metamorphoses, talking about Perseus, Minerva/Athena, Neptune/Poseidon, and the different versions of the myth. In her discussion of the interpretations of the story, Analisa revisits her dislike of Freud.
