[Jet Jaguar]

Gorgons.

Medusa was one of the three gorgons.

They were earth- dwellers. They were creatures with wings, whose look turned men to stone. Phorcys was their father.

I think the author is comparing Beyonce’ the singer with Medusa.

[Brugmansian]

I thought "Beyoncé" was either a word or a classical allusion I did not know. Just great. We're gone from classical allusions being a common language to a pop singer's name used to explain a classical allusion.

So if "Beyoncé" is Medusa, who is Athena?
