Pegasus
A symbol is something which stand for a god or a person or similar. It is not the same thing as a well-known trait of somebody. Medusa was known to have snakes for hair. That does not make snakes symbols for Medusa. In this sense she does not have a symbol.
Pegasus is not commonly known as Medusa's symbol. Pegasus is supposedly Medusa's son by Poseidon but couldn't be born until Medusa died because of her changed appearance. When speaking of Medusa, people most commonly think of snakes because of her hair.
The most common symbol of Perseus, a hero from Greek mythology, is the severed head of Medusa as Perseus is credited with killing Medusa. There is also a constellation named after Perseus.

Medusa had no children.
No, Rhea was not Medusa. Rhea was a Titan. Medusa was a Gorgon.
The problem with Medusa's head lies in its mythological significance as a symbol of danger and transformation. In Greek mythology, Medusa is a Gorgon whose gaze turns people to stone, representing fear and the consequences of power. Her head, often depicted as a weapon, embodies the duality of beauty and horror, illustrating the complexities of femininity and the societal fears surrounding it. Ultimately, Medusa's story raises questions about victimization, agency, and the nature of monstrosity.

Medusa's story has been retold in various forms of art and literature, cementing her status as an iconic figure in mythology.
