PLEASE, NEGATIVE CRITIQUES ARE NOT WELCOME. THESE ARE ARTISTS INTERPRETATIONS. DESCRIPTIONS ARE BASED ON VARIOUS STORIES THAT ALL DIFFER FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. THANK YOU.



This awesome painted sketch art card of Athena's Shield & Medusa's head from Greek Mythology is created by the very talented artist Ingrid Hardy :iconingridkvhardy: for our Classic Mythology trading card set.

 

Medusa – Greek Mythology –Medusa was one of 3 Gorgon sisters, a chthonic monster, and a daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. Medusa was originally a ravishingly beautiful maiden, "the jealous aspiration of many suitors," priestess in Athena's temple, but when she and the "Lord of the Sea" Poseidon were caught together (against her will) 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. She was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield.

 

Athena (Athene) - Greek Mythology - Athena was the Goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, battle strategy, warfare, strength, the arts, crafts, justice, and skill in Greek Mythology. Athena was born fully armed from Zeus' forehead. She was the virgin patron of Athens. The Athenians built the Parthenon on the Acropolis of her namesake city, Athens (Athena Parthenos), in her honour. Some of Athena's symbols include the owl, the olive tree, snakes, Aegis, armor, helmets, and spears.
