Medusa fridge magnet
A mental journey through the world of the gods in antiquity is an extremely exciting and fascinating field of activity for lovers of ancient cultural history, teachers and pupils. The stories from Greek mythology in particular - such as the mythical story of Medusa - are always a popular topic for pupils in the classroom.
Medusa - beauty and monster
According to mythological tradition, Medusa, Stheno and Euryale - the Gorgons - were three sisters and children of the gods Phorkys and his sister Keto. Storytellers tell of a beguilingly beautiful young woman - Medusa - who was worshipped and loved by the ruler of the sea, Poseidon. It so happened that both were caught by the virgin goddess in the temple of Athena on the Acropolis while making love. From then on, Athena pursued Medusa with her hatred, which resulted in a creepy curse: an eerie-looking creature with a long tongue hanging out of its mouth, teeth like a wild monster, bronze hands and golden wings, but hair made of snakes.
Perseus - the mortal son of Zeus and his mother Danae - fulfilled a promise he made to his king. With the help of a magic cap, winged shoes and a sack for Medusa's head, he quickly found the demoness and beheaded her in her sleep with a diamond sickle.
The Medusa magnetic medallion is a detailed replica of an antique bronze original from Italy. Cast from synthetic resin and then bronzed, it looks very real.

Freeze to stone at the sight of Medusa?
Certainly not, but the viewer can hardly escape the aura of this ancient medallion, because according to mythological tradition, the sight of Medusa emanated something threatening. In antiquity, medallions were large coins made of bronze, silver or other precious metals and were mostly used as commemorative and showpieces.
Ancient medallions - evidence of a cultural and historical past
The bronze Medusa medallion magnet is an enrichment for lovers of Greek mythology as a collector's item or decorative element. For teachers of historical subjects, this medallion is excellent illustrative material and is also - due to its favorable pricing - ideally suited for the purchase of a class set.
