Fig. 1C. —Caput Medusae. Perseus and Andromeda by Joachim Wtewael (oil on canvas, 1611, Musee de Louvre, Paris, France) shows Perseus, in this postrenaissance rendition of the fable of Medusa, on his flying horse holding Medusa's head in his left hand and preparing to save a chained Andromeda from the sea monster who was sent by Poseidon, god of the sea and Athena's arch rival, who, in turn, was Perseus' protector.
