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.

A little back story, one version of the myth says Medusa was transformed into a Gorgon as punishment for being raped in Athena's temple.

Yeah that was awesome, seems as though she wasn't raped in the poem.

Sorry, I truly am. But as a lover of Classical studies, and someone who excavated a few Greek artifacts himself... This gorgon doesn't transmit a gaze which is about to turn me into stone... instead all I think about is... 'hmmm that would go nice with tomato sauce and meat balls'.

Listen not to the doubters, for they are weak of faith. Besides, what the heck would Caladan know? Not like he's a friggin' archeoologist...
