I love both of those, but the only problem is I know I'd just end up changing them.
You're already using your own pic- that's like the best avatar to have for a person.
Failing that, I always relate best to avatars that are of people, like a photograph or an animation or a painting. I remember faces better than symbols or words. I've had three avatars in three years, and they're all animated women with pink hair :areyoucra.

To not know what one looks like has its advantages too.
Some unconscious presumptions may be cast aside, as
we get to know each other solely thru posts.
Yes! Dr John Zoidberg has so much to offer.
He's almost the Groundskeeper Willie of the Futurama Universe.

Do you prefer this one, is it more clear?
I like this one, but I don't know if it's what you want.

I remember reading a bit about the fear of castration behind the Gorgon, Freud I think. Other than that I know the general wiki story behind them.

hi, I'm new here, how do I get avatar?
Hmm...I like your new avatar, so I'd pretty much just say stick with that. Greek mythology was a bit of an interest when I was growing up, though, so maybe biased.
As for sticking with your avatar, there's a couple of ways to do it;
1) When picking your avatar, don't go for anything that has even a hint of something that might change. So, religious beliefs, etc, can be tricky for most. And don't go for anything too concrete in terms of linking to your beliefs and general demenour. You'll change over time, so an avatar needs to be abstract enough to move with you, so to speak.
OR
2) Be fundamentally lazy, and just train yourself that it's WAY too much effort.
I subscribe to theory number 2.

User CP -> Edit Avatar.
Not sure if there's a number of posts you need to make before you can edit your avatar or not, but if there is, it's very low (10 maybe?)
You also might want to create a thread introducing yourself to the community in the Are You New to ReligiousForums.com area.

I am probably going to stick with this avatar because I do really like it. I'm going to try really really hard.
