Excerpt: Medusa – The Lost Daughter

From “The Birth of the Gorgon”

For every monster, a hero is born
to end its tyranny, and to bring forth
its demise. Medusa saw hers born in
a flash of lightning in the sky, as she
was cast down from Athena’s eyes to the
scorching desert of Sarpedon

Medusa is available for purchase at Politics and Prose at http://www.politics-prose.com/book/9781624291272
