This is a picture of Medusa who was one the three gorgon sisters. She was the most beautiful amongst them and thus attracted the attention of Poseidon. She was seduced by Poseidon in a Temple of Athena. Athena,angered, punished her by making her disgusting looking with snakes instead of hairs.
Medusa was so terrifying that whoever saw her face turned into stone. She was beheaded by Perseus while sleeping. The photo describes Medusa after she was beheaded. When her blood spilled on the ground two creatures were born. One was the winged horse Pegasus and the other was Chrysaor.
