Elizabeth Johnston's November 2016 Atlantic essay called Medusa the original 'Nasty Woman.' Johnston goes on to say that as Medusa has been repeatedly compared to Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, she proves her merit as an icon, finding relevance even in modern politics. "Medusa has since haunted Western imagination, materializing whenever male authority feels threatened by female agency," writes Johnston. [30] Beyond that, Medusa's story is, Johnston argues, a rape narrative. A story of victim blaming, one that she says sounds all too familiar in a current American context.

Two-headed snakes are rare • Two-headed snakes are similar to conjoined twins: an embryo begins to split to create identical twins, but the process does not finish. Such snakes rarely survive in the wild because the two heads have duplicate senses, they fight over food, and one head may try to eat the other head. [20] ABS drain snakes are generally shorter than high-carbon steel snakes, which is why they are best for removing clogs that aren't very deep in the drain. High-carbon steel snakes are designed to travel through the drainage pipes of the home and can exceed 75 feet in length.

What Kind of Snake Was It?

Pythian Ode 12). Noted by Marjorie J. Milne in discussing a red-figured vase in the style of Polygnotos, ca. 450–30 BC, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Milne noted that "It is one of the earliest illustrations of the story to show the Gorgon not as a hideous monster but as a beautiful woman. Art in this respect lagged behind poetry." (Marjorie J. Milne, "Perseus and Medusa on an Attic Vase" The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin New Series, 4.5 (January 1946, pp. 126–130) 126.p.) The Mozambique spitting cobra can spit venom over 8 feet away. It can spit from any position, including lying on the ground or raised up. It prefers to aim for its victim’s eyes. [16] Pretty simple, really. It’s a tool used by plumbers to remove whatever is clogging your sink. Its sole purpose is to get your water flowing smoothly again. And it works especially well to unclog a bathroom sink.

The term gorgoneion refers to the head and face of Medusa, which was used often as a decorative motif. It is a prolific symbol of her particular power that appears in architecture, vase painting, and metalwork. The gorgoneion was a pervasive image in temple decoration of the Archaic period (ca. 700–480 B.C.). Perhaps the largest example comes from Temple C (built ca. 540 B.C.) at Selinunte in southwestern Sicily—two monumental gorgoneia, one on the east and one on the west, dominated the pediments of the temple. Medusa’s visage was also used to decorate smaller architectural elements. In Sicily, southern Italy, and mainland Greece, temples were decorated with numerous antefixes (ornamental terracotta roof tile covers) that bore gorgoneia ( 27.122.14 ), a phenomenon especially prevalent during the Archaic period. During this time, Medusa is depicted as a monster; she has a round face, wide eyes, a beard, and a gaping mouth with an extended tongue and gnashing, sharp teeth ( 39.11.9 ). Medusa remains a popular image on later architectural components, but her form is more specifically human and female. She loses the frightful teeth and beard, but is still recognizable ( 20.215 ) in Classical and Hellenistic examples with her wild hair and confrontational look ( 98.8.30 ). The Brahminy Blind Snake, or flowerpot snake, is the only snake species made up of solely females and, as such, does not need a mate to reproduce. It is also the most widespread terrestrial snake in the world. [19] Snakes kill over 40,000 people a year—though, with unreported incidents, the total may be over 100,000. About half of these deaths are in India. [16]Piper, Ross (2007), Extraordinary Animals: An Encyclopedia of Curious and Unusual Animals, Greenwood Press.

Did you know that “how to use drain snake” (or a plastic hair snake) is searched nearly 4,000 times a month on Google? It’s even more than that for “unclog a bathroom sink.” The drain/hair snake seems to be in high demand these days by America’s bathrooms. Strangely enough, Medusa’s story doesn’t end with her death. In fact, one can argue that the most peculiar fragments of her biography are all posthumous. Medusa’s Children · The Lament of the Gorgons Powered drain snakes provide extra muscle to break through tough clogs, but they also reduce user fatigue because the electric motor is doing all the work. Some models even have a cable that automatically retracts by pushing a button, making recovery and cleanup easier.

Why Does This 2-Ft Snake Have Green Fur?

Coil heads or toothed heads are designed to wrap around, latch onto, or otherwise grab objects that are causing clogs. Once attached, the drain snake can be pulled out of the drain carrying the clog, like a ball of hair, wads of toilet paper, wipes, sanitary pads, diapers, and other objects that shouldn't be put down the drain. That is to say, there occurred in the early thirteenth century B.C. an actual historic rupture, a sort of sociological trauma, which has been registered in this myth, much as what Freud terms the latent content of a neurosis is registered in the manifest content of a dream: registered yet hidden, registered in the unconscious yet unknown or misconstrued by the conscious mind.
