"To radicals like Percy Bysshe Shelley, Medusa was an "abject hero," a victim of tyranny whose weakness, disfiguration, and monstrous mutilation become in themselves a kind of revolutionary power." --"Ekphrasis and the Other" by W. J. T. Mitchell, excerpted from Picture Theory (The University of Chicago Press); the paper originally appeared in South Atlantic Quarterly XCI (Summer 1992), pg. 695-719.
