Redeeming the Gorgon: Reclaiming the Medusa Function of the Psyche - Presented by Ileen Root. Serpent-haired Gorgon Medusa is generally conceived of as a figure of irredeemable evil. Yet a survey of the vast body of Gorgon Medusa myth, literature and imagery, since Homer circa the seventh or eighth century BCE, reveals a far more complex iconic entity. Medusa, whose name means Queen in archaic Greek, appears variously as a hideous monster, a beautiful seductress, and as a symbol of feminist empowerment. What is the role of the Gorgon within the psyche? What archetypal energy that Medusa might have represented been excised from the psyche.? What has the suppression of this aspect of psyche mean to human cognitive wholeness and how can it be reclaimed.
