Pair of Neptune and Medusa heads in Sicilian artistic ceramics, made and hand-painted by master ceramists. They stand out for the elegance and originality of the decoration, for the beauty of the faces and details.
They measure 39 cm in height
The myth:
The beautiful Medusa met her lover Neptune, God of the Sea, in the Temple of Athena and, for having desecrated this sacred place, was transformed by the Goddess into a terrible monster that turned anyone who looked at her to stone.
My emotion:
Mythology has always fascinated me. I studied Greek mythology in 'The Greek Myths' by Robert Graves, with its fantastic heroes but also characterized by very human traits and flaws.
Sicily is steeped in Greek mythology and many mythological figures are born right here, such as those of Arethusa, Ciane, Daphne, Erice, Galatea, Polyphemus. Fantastic and unreal stories that I loved to hear my mother tell when I was a child and that I have also told to my children, to see the magical wonder in their eyes.
