Goddess: Son of Medusa - Hardcover

by Todd Crawshaw (Author)

Goddess: Son of Medusa is a modern interpretation of the metaphoric significance behind the myth of Medusa for the reality of powerful women living within the norms of a patriarchal society. An otherworldly story about love, inclusion, diversity, androgyny, and other themes, including good versus evil - a blend of fantasy and truth, myth and reality - a tale regarding Medusa, who had deadly snakes for hair and eyes that could turn men into stone, beheaded for this curse, and what follows in the life for her descendant. Aster, born intersex, is the only offspring of Medusa, inheriting her powers, and is a kind person, except when not to those who lack kindness. This unique progeny represents an apotropaic character whose psychic abilities ward off offensive individuals - but whose tricks and mind games cause dangerous repercussions.
