about

Medusa is a big topic and a figure that is as hard to pin down as her wriggling hair. In this program we take a longer look at some of Medusa’s mythological compatriots (the Hindu goddess Kali, the Sumerian demon Humbaba) and think about our ongoing fascination with this dangerous feminine power.

We are fascinated and we are afraid— with good reason. Facing this awful, awesome presence is the challenge.

The image is a temple statue of Kali. Medusa was also depicted with the her tongue out and she too had tusks. Note Kali’s necklace of heads.
