Ummm, if you think that it counts, then we'll count it!!



Curious Dawg, does your Gorgon have a Bull on the flip-side?

I have another gorgon, but it has the anchor on the flip-side ...

Here's an older thread with one. And in this thread from earlier this year, several folks compare theirs with a fake one.

There certainly were a wide variety of interpretations on how to depict a gorgon. I'm always amused by the dichotomy: beautiful coins trying to depict the ugliest creature in Greek mythology.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I dont think the last one you posted is a Gorgon but rather the front facing Apollo!
