The scene of Perseus slaying Medusa is one of the most represented in paintings. You'll see that sometimes Medusa was pictured as being beautiful (except for the hair made of snakes), other times as a monster.
Goddess Athena gave Perseus a polished bronze shield, to be used as a mirror (by the way, at that time the mirrors were really made of bronze very well polished; but the shields usually had images on them, to frighten the enemy).
