The Medusa symbol, originating from Greek mythology, represents both danger and empowerment. Medusa, a Gorgon with snakes for hair, is often seen as a figure of fear due to her ability to turn people to stone. However, she can also symbolize female strength, resilience, and the complexities of womanhood, challenging traditional narratives of victimhood. In contemporary contexts, Medusa is frequently embraced as an icon of feminism and defiance against oppression.
