The Gorgon's Head
Res difficillima erat caput Gorgonis abscidere ; eius enim conspectu homines in saxum vertebantur . Propter hanc causam Minerva speculum Perseo dederat . Ille igitur tergum vertit , et in speculum inspiciebat ; hoc modo ad locum venit ubi Medusa dormiebat . Tum falce sua caput eius uno ictu abscidit . Ceterae Gorgones statim e somno excitatae sunt , et ubi rem viderunt , ira commotae sunt . Arma rapuerunt , et Perseum occidere volebant . Ille autem dum fugit , galeam magicam induit ; et ubi hoc fecit , statim e conspectu earum evasit .
It
was
a
very
difficult
thing
to
cut
off
the
Gorgon
'
s
head
;
for
at
his
sight
men
were
turned
to
stone
.
For
this
reason
Minerva
had
given
the
mirror
to
Perseus
.
He
therefore
turned
his
back
,
and
looked
into
the
mirror
;
in
this
way
he
came
to
the
place
where
Medusa
slept
.
Then
with
his
scythe
he
cut
off
his
head
with
one
stroke
.
The
other
Gorgons
were
immediately
roused
from
their
sleep
,
and
when
they
saw
the
thing
,
they
were
moved
with
anger
.
They
seized
their
weapons
and
wanted
to
kill
Perseus
.
But
as
he
fled
,
he
put
on
a
magical
helmet
;
and
when
he
had
done
this
,
he
immediately
got
out
of
their
sight
.
