EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "Perseus and the Medusa, one of the three Gorgones - in Dizionario mitologico" transports us to a world of ancient mythology. Created by an unknown artist, this print is housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Italy. The scene depicted here is none other than the legendary encounter between Perseus and Medusa. In Greek mythology, Medusa was one of three monstrous Gorgon sisters with snakes for hair and a gaze that turned any who looked upon her into stone. Perseus, armed with a mirrored shield gifted by Athena and winged sandals from Hermes, bravely faced this fearsome creature. In this engraving, we witness Perseus as he skillfully wields his sword against Medusa's serpentine locks. The artist masterfully captures the tension and drama of this epic battle. The intricate details bring these mythological characters to life on paper. Through its inclusion in the "Dizionario mitologico" this artwork serves as both an educational tool and a testament to humanity's fascination with ancient stories. It invites viewers to delve deeper into Greek mythology while appreciating the artistic talent behind its portrayal. Giancarlo Costa has preserved this piece through his photography skills so that it may be enjoyed by future generations. As we admire this print today, let us remember the heroism displayed by Perseus as he confronted one of history's most
